Bug #1242

Proc instr'n name can't contain a colon
0%
Description
SourceForge user: christianhujer
The function processing-instruction() sometimes
throws an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException.
Description of how the problem arose: I am using
XHTML Basic for source documents and transform them
to XHTML 1.1. The DTD of XHTML Basic contains three
processing instructions:
I wanted to filter them out with an empty template
like this:
<xsl:template match="processing-instruction('doc')" />
<xsl:template
match="processing-instruction('IS10744')" />
so far so good, but when using
<xsl:template
match="processing-instruction('IS10744:arch')" />
or
<xsl:template
match="processing-instruction('IS10744*')" />
I get an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException.
You may verify this with the following code snippets:
<head>
<title>Simple XHTML document</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>Some document</p>
</body>
<xsl:transform
version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transfor
m"
<!-- this works -->
<xsl:template
match="processing-instruction('doc')" />
<!-- this works -->
<xsl:template
match="processing-instruction('IS10744')" />
<!-- throws AIOOBException -->
<xsl:template
match="processing-instruction('IS10744:arch')" />
<!-- throws AIOOBException -->
<xsl:template
match="processing-instruction('IS10744*')" />
<!-- just copy the rest -->
<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates
select="@*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:transform>
I have found that version 6.5 and 6.5.1 running on
Linux using Java 2 SDK 1.4ß3 SE have this bug. I
don't know wether other versions of saxon / SDK / OS
will help to reproduce this bug.
Xalan (on the same system / configuration) does have
this bug.
I do not know wether this bug is a saxon bug or an
integration problem with AEfred or Java.

Annotation: The processing instructions are in the
external subset of the DTD.

About Xalan I wanted to write:
Xalan (on the same system / configuration) does not have
this bug.
(Though today I've found another bug in Xalan)

Please don't enter bug reports directly into this register!
As clearly indicated on the front page, this register is
intended for confirmed bugs only, not for suspected bugs. I
usually delete such reports. In this case, however, I shall
leave it here because it is actually a bug.
In fact there seem to be two separate bugs here. The first
one is that processing instructions within the DTD should
be ignored: this isn't happening: I'll raise a separate
entry for that. The second is that Saxon is apparently
trying to resolve a processing instruction name containing
a colon as if it were a QName.

XSLT requires that the source document be conformant with
the XML Namespaces recommendation. This means that colons
in namespace names are not allowed. I propose to fix this
bug by ensuring that an error is reported if the name
(target) of a processing instruction contains a colon.
