character maps in stylesheets used by Xalan fail
------------------------------------------------
Key: XALANJ-2529
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XALANJ-2529
Project: XalanJ2
Issue Type: Bug
Security Level: No security risk; visible to anyone (Ordinary problems in
Xalan projects. Anybody can view the issue.)
Components: Serialization
Environment: Linux 2.6.5-7.151-s390x (SuSE mainframe) and 2.6.23.9lw
#105 SMP (Red Hat derived Intel)
Reporter: David Collier-Brown
I send a file containing the line
--
character="✓" name="check;"
--
to Xerces, and wrote it to the following xsl program:
---
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="2.0">
<xsl:output
use-character-maps="cm1" />
<xsl:character-map name="cm1">
<xsl:output-character character="✓" string="&check;"/>
</xsl:character-map>
</xsl:stylesheet>
--
The output, alas, is
--
character="✓" name="check;"
--
where "✓" is literally a checkmark character. Piping it through
cat -A yeilds
--
character="M-bM-^\M-^S" name="check;"$
--
I expected a literal ampersand followed by "check;", but instead got a
literal checkmark on both mainframe and intel linux.
The code example is from www.xml.com/lpt/a/1426, and has arguably
worked for the author, but but several other commentartors suggest it
doesn't work, as found via the google search "xsl character-map doesn't work"
This is puzzling, and disqualifies me from using Xerces, and even DOm in
in general for my customer.
Is there a general problem with character maps, or ones specific to particular
implementations?
