Recently at last we have switched our
projects to Java 1.6. When executing the tests I found out that using 1.6 a SAXParseException is not thrown which has been thrown using 1.5.
Below is my test code to demonstrate the problem.
import java.io.StringReader;
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder;
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource;
import javax.xml.validation.SchemaFactory;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.xml.sax.InputSource;
import org.xml.sax.SAXParseException;

public class TestXMLValidation {

@Test(expected = SAXParseException.class)
public void testValidate() throws Exception {
final StreamSource schema = new StreamSource( new StringReader( "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>"
+ "<xs:schema xmlns:xs=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema\" "
+ "elementFormDefault=\"qualified\" xmlns:xsd=\"undefined\">" + "<xs:element name=\"Test\"/>" + "</xs:schema>" ) );
final String xml = "<Test42/>";
final DocumentBuilderFactory newFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
newFactory.setSchema( SchemaFactory.newInstance( "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" ).newSchema( schema ) );
final DocumentBuilder documentBuilder = newFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
documentBuilder.parse( new InputSource( new StringReader( xml ) ) );
}
}
When using a JVM 1.5 the test passes, on 1.6 it fails with "Expected exception SAXParseException".
The Javadoc of the DocumentBuilderFactory.setSchema(Schema) Method says:
When errors are found by the
validator, the parser is responsible
to report them to the user-specified
ErrorHandler (or if the error handler
is not set, ignore them or throw
them), just like any other errors
found by the parser itself. In other
words, if the user-specified
ErrorHandler is set, it must receive
those errors, and if not, they must be
treated according to the
implementation specific default error
handling rules.
The Javadoc of the DocumentBuilder.parse(InputSource) method says:
BTW: I tried setting an error handler via setErrorHandler, but there still is no exception.
Now my question:
What has changed to 1.6 that prevents the schema validation to throw a SAXParseException? Is it related to the schema or to the xml that I tried to parse?
