Anthony, Yes, you can just attach a patch to a posting to the xerces-j-dev mailing list. Some hints: use a standard UNIX-like diff program to make the patch (e.g. the "cvs diff" command if you're working on an extracted copy of the codebase from the CVS repository); and attach the resulting diff file as an attachment. The last part makes applying the patch so much easier. I haven't had time to look into this but I have a guess as to where the problem is. When an external parsed entity is scanned, it may start with a TextDecl that specifies the encoding of that entity. But the parser buffers chunks of the document for better performance which will read past the TextDecl using a possibly incorrect encoding. So I used a one character reader in the original Xerces2 betas that would force the scanner to only read one character from the underlying input stream until I changed the encoding OR until which point that I knew that there wasn't a TextDecl and I could continue processing as normal. Before the Xerces 2.0.0 release, a change to this code was entered by Sandy?. The reason for the change was that the Java decoders cannot be trusted to only read the bytes necessary for decoding a single character. In other words, many of the decoders buffer the stream internally. This reads too many bytes and we have the same problem all over again. So what is the problem? My guess is that even though we're now using a kind of rewindable input stream to avoid the input stream problem, it's never being switched back to regular buffering mode. Therefore, it continues reading the entire entity one character at a time, resulting in the excessive number of characters() callbacks. I don't have proper CVS access at the moment, otherwise I'd look into it (provided I have the time). But I would suggest looking in the impl/XMLEntityManager.java code. -AndyC

Andy,
Does this need to be submitted to the X2 group? Should I do
it...what are
the steps?
Thank You,
Anthony
