Description

<a xmlns='someNS' name='test'><b xmlns=''/></a>

is transformed into

<a xmlns='someNS' name='test'><b xmlns='' xmlns=''/></a>

which is not valid

org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 2; columnNumber: 24; Attribute "xmlns" was already specified for element "b".

see test case attached. That works fine with 9.9 (HE, EE)

java -cp saxon9he.jar;.  testSaxonTransformer

but fails with 10.0-10.3 (HE, EE) also tried with EE 10.4

java -cp saxon-he-10.3.jar;.  testSaxonTransformer

but the transformed is correct when I add another NS. Like:

<a xmlns='someNS' xmlns:z='z' name='test'><b xmlns=''/></a>

 #2

Updated by Michael Kay over 3 years ago

The error appears to be when combining two namespace maps (NamespaceMap.applyDifferences() -- which is not actually DOM-specific code, though it's probably used rather differently when handling DOM input.). This ends up incorrectly generating an empty namespace map for element b, rather than a map containing the single namespace binding (""=""). This error is then compounded: because the namespace map is empty, the scan of attributes on element b doesn't check whether any of the attributes are actually namespaces, so it's processing xmlns:"" a second time as if it were an ordinary attribute.

Updated by Michael Kay over 3 years ago

I've applied a fix to NamespaceMap.applyDifferences() on the 10.x branch which ensures this test now passes. However, the test passes on the 11.x branch without this change: I'm currently exploring why.

  • Status changed from In Progress to Resolved
  • Fix Committed on Branch 10, trunk added

It was working on the 11.x branch because my configuration settings meant I was picking up Xalan as the DOM identityTransformer. Fixed this, found the bug was still present, so I've applied the patch to both branches.
