I hope this list is an appropriate place to ask this question; I've spent quite a bit of time grepping and reading the source, and I think this is my best bet.
I'm trying to use the xerces-c library through the Sleepycat DB XML software package. Whenever I call the putDocument method on an XmlContainer, I consistently have an exception thrown from the following line in the WFXMLScanner class: // check for duplicate namespace attributes: // by checking for qualified names with the same // local part and with prefixes // which have been bound to namespace names that are identical. XMLAttr* loopAttr; XMLAttr* curAtt; for (unsigned int attrIndex=0; attrIndex < attCount-1; attrIndex++) { loopAttr = fAttrList->elementAt(attrIndex); ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ for (unsigned int curAttrIndex = attrIndex+1; curAttrIndex < attCount; curAttrIndex++) { curAtt = fAttrList->elementAt(curAttrIndex); if (curAtt->getURIId() == loopAttr->getURIId() && XMLString::equals(curAtt->getName(), loopAttr->getName())) { emitError ( XMLErrs::AttrAlreadyUsedInSTag , curAtt->getName() , elemDecl->getFullName() ); } } } This is from the scanStartTagNS method in the WFXMLScanner.cpp file. The method fAttrList->elementAt is throwing an ArrayIndexOutofBoundsException. I realize this has to do with software besides simply xerces, but just from looking over this method's code, it doesn't look like it should ever throw an exception right here, regardless of how badly deformed the XML file is. I've run a few different test programs, and all of them have the same result: I simply can't call the putDocument method without generating an exception. Here is one small test program that reproduced the error for me: #include "dbxml/DbXml.hpp" #include "db_cxx.h" using namespace DbXml; int main() { XmlContainer container(NULL, "test.dbxml"); container.open(NULL, DB_CREATE); XmlDocument document; document.setContent("<testing><a><b><c></c></b></a></testing>"); try { container.putDocument(NULL, document); } catch (std::exception &e) { std::cerr << e.what() << std::endl; } return 0; } Here is the output: $ ./add_doc Error: XML Indexer: Fatal parse error in document '', line 1, char 10. Parser Error Message: An exception occurred! Type:ArrayIndexOutofBoundsException, Message:The passed index is past the end of the vector The char number given in the exception is consistently the index of the '>' character in the first tag. Again, sorry if this question is not on-topic on this list and thanks for any help.
