Re: DOMTypeInfo::getName - changes from xerces 2.5 to 2.6??

[Steve Harrington]

Gareth,

I have attached a stripped down set of files having removed most of the non-related code. This small set of files includes a main method which will illustrate the problem. You can run it against the XML file pset-testing.xml (which is an instance of the schema pset.xsd) - all included in the tar file. It works fine with xerces 2.5 but fails under 2.6. Any insight is appreciated.

After building it, to execute simply type:

        testDOM -file pset-testing.xml

Let me know if you need more information.

Thanks, Steve

Hi,

Could you provide us with a small snippet of xml and the code you use to parse the document?

Cheers,

Hi,

I had some working code that I was running with xerces 2.5 and when I changed to xerces 2.6, it broke. Did something related to DOMTypeInfo change? Here's the code snippet:

for (unsigned int i = 0; i < paramNodes->getLength(); i++) {
    DOMNode * paramItem = paramNodes->item(i);
    if(paramItem->getNodeType() == DOMNode::ELEMENT_NODE) {
        DOMElement * paramElem = (DOMElement*)paramItem;
        const DOMTypeInfo * typeInfo = paramElem->getTypeInfo();
        const XMLCh* typeName = typeInfo->getName();
        // check the type of parameter and instantiate the proper class
        if(XMLString::equals(typeName, INT_PARAM_TYPE))
        {
            handleIntParam(paramElem);
        }
        // etc...
}

Under 2.5, this worked fine whereas now it seems that I'm getting nothing for the typeName (from DOMTypeInfo::getName method). I realize it says "experimental and subject to change" on the API documentation - perhaps I've played with fire and am now being burned :-) If there is a better way to get the name of the type then what I'm doing here, I'd be happy to change my code.

Cheers, Steve
