Alberto Massari updated XERCESC-944:
------------------------------------
Priority: Major
> bug in XercesDOMParser treatment of whitespace and empty elements
> -----------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: XERCESC-944
> URL: http://nagoya.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESC-944
> Project: Xerces-C++
> Type: Bug
> Components: Non-Validating Parser
> Versions: 2.2.0
> Environment: Operating System: All
> Platform: All
> Reporter: David Huang
> Assignee: Xerces-C Developers Mailing List
>
> I found that using the XercesDOMParser to parse the following string into a
> document:
> "<outer> <a></a><b>\n</b> </outer>"
> Then, using DOMWriter to serialize the resulting document, you see that the
> document is being parsed into the following DOM structure:
> <outer>
> <a/>
> <b></b>
> </outer>
> If you then parse *that* into a document, you get:
> <outer>
> <a/>
> <b/>
> </outer>
> The same thing occurs if a space is used instead of the newline in the original
> string.
> Calling SetIncludeIgnorableWhitespace(false) on the parser before using it
> to parse does not appear to affect this behavior. Also, it seems that
> regardless of whether or not the parser is supposed to treat the whitespace as
> significant, that it should be consistent... If it *is* supposed to treat the
> whitespace as significant, then, for the first example, we should get:
> <outer>
> <a/>
> <b>
> </b>
> </outer>
> (note the newline between the <b> and the </b>)
> And if it *isn't* supposed to treat the whitespace as significant, then, for
> the same example, we should've gotten the following after the first parse:
> <outer>
> <a/>
> <b/>
> </outer>
> I was not able to find anything about this in the documentation or Bugzilla; is
> anybody aware of this issue?
> Thanks
