Re: A Simple Stylesheet failed on CVS-Xalan

[david_n_bertoni]

Hi Holger,

Yes, this is a major bug in Xerces-C, but I don't know what else we can do.
I will post a note on the Xerces-C list to see if they have any intention
of doing a 2.4.1 release anytime soon.

Any other suggestions are welcome, but I'm not sure releasing with Xerces
2.3 is a good idea.

Thanks!

Dave

Hi there,

   I have checked out the tagged version "Xalan-C_1_7_0" (it is not
official I know) from the apache CVS yesterday and build it against
Xerces-C 2.4. The simple stylesheet

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet
   version="1.0"
   xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>

   <xsl:template match="/">
     <table border="" cols=""/>
   </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

fails, because a bug of Xerces-C 2.4 within IGXMLScanner.cpp (fixed in
revision 1.44) complaining about the attribute "cols" double defined. You
can execute Xerces-C 2.4 DOMPrint.exe on this document and Xerces will also

complain.

My question: Am I right with the simple stylesheet fault? (Maybe this is a
bug on my system) If the assumption holds true, a Xalan-C 1.7 build against

Xerces-C 2.4 would be useless. In this case I would prefer a build against
Xerces-C 2.3 (or somebody know similar bugs of Xerces-C 2.3?).
