Works great! We replaced the Xerces1.4 jar in our app, and
it worked with only minor modifications. So it is definitely
used in in a real-world app here.
The only major difference is how we access TEXT_NODEs
within an element. For example, if you had a tag like:
<sometext>"<![CDATA[Hello,]]>world"</sometext>
gathering up all of the TEXT_NODEs in 1.4 would result in:
"Hello, world"
in 2.0.0b, we get
world
..as now it apparently treats TEXT_NODEs,
ENTITY_REFERENCE_NODEs, and CDATA_SECTION_NODEs
separately. Once we take this into account, everything works fine.
Is this proper operation?
Anyway, 2.0 is looking pretty good, thanks for your efforts.
Bob
