xbis-devs Mailing List for XBIS - XML Binary Infoset

Hi,

I'm trying to encode/decode using Xbis, I haven't have any issues until I started
to send xml files with namespaces.

If I try to encode the following xml file:
...
<root>
 <n1:ele1 xmlns:n1="http://n1.org">
	<ele2 xmlns:n1="http://n1.org">
		test_1
	</ele2>
</n1:ele1>
</root>

the following exception arise : (don't pay attention to the line number I have added some print.out and they can differ from the 
original, btw I'm using Xbis - version 0.9.5


Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalStateException: Namespaces must be deactivated in reverse order
	at org.xbis.XBISWriter.deactivateNamespace(XBISWriter.java:743)
	at org.xbis.XBISWriter.closeNamespaces(XBISWriter.java:1008)

	at test.RoundTrip.main(RoundTrip.java:167)

As far as I've could see the problem is in "m_activeNamespaces" it's an array that holds 
the active name spaces within element scope.

if you look inside the method "org.xbis.XBISWriter.activateNamespace( OutputNamespace ns ) {
  ....
  m_activeNamespaces [m_activeCount] = ns; 
  ns.setActiveHandle(m_activeCount++);
}

it means that if "ns" is already within m_activeNamespace , the method ns.setActiveHandle will set the new value
in all the references withing m_activeNamespace

so,


deactivateNamespace(....){
....
int index = --m_activeCount;
        if (ns == m_activeNamespaces[index] && ns.getActiveHandle() == index) {
            m_activeNamespaces[index] = null;
            ns.setActiveHandle(-1);
        } else {
            throw new IllegalStateException
                ("Namespaces must be deactivated in reverse order");
        }
...
}

as we can see above, if there is a repeated namespace inside m_activeNamespaces it will
fail and will throw and exception the second time it tries to deactivate it.

I have fix this may be wrong behaviour by creating a new namespace and adding it to the 
m_activeNamespace array, but now in the output I don't have any references to the namespace

that's how the output lookslike (rountripping) 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
 <n1:ele1 xmlns:n1="http://n1.org">
        <ele2 xmlns:xml="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace">
                test_1
        </ele2>
</n1:ele1>
</root>


so, that's mean that it may be another issues I cannot find yet....

Any idea, help woul be welcomed


Thanks
