Re: Re: Possible Bug: Xerces 2.12.1 for XML Validation with XSD 1.1 Schema under Java - Plain Text

Hi Mukul,

Thanks for the update.

I was relieved to get away from the previous level of uncertainty that I wa=
s doing something stupid!

I'm not sure what was happening before to give us those discrepancies betwe=
en our respective results though. Did you try comparing the files you were =
using for the validations before with the new (but, from my point of view, =
the same) files from the Jira case?

Yes, this would be because the subsequent XML comments are no longer aligne=
d with the problematic line numbers.

What can I expect to happen next? Is there some process where one of the Xe=
rces-J Developers (assuming that you are not already one of those) will pic=
k up this case? If so, how long does that process typically take, in your e=
xperience?

I wonder whether it would help my case, if you could add your supporting in=
formation, that you had succeeded in replicating the problem, to the Jira c=
ase itself?

All the best,

John.

 This looks to me strange, and may be a bug with Xerces-J and should be inv=
estigated I believe.
