[jdom-interest] parsing adds attributes

[Phil Weighill-Smith]

My guess, the schema has a default value of "simple" for the "type" attribute... xerces adds default attributes when validating. Haven't found a way of suppressing this feature.

	Hi All,
	
	Sorry to have another question. This time I did look at the FAQ (both of
	JDOM and of Xerces). I've got a question that may be more related tot
	Xercers/SAX than JDOM, but I hope you can help me with it.
	As soon as I parse an XML document using the apache xalan parser with
	the SAX API, elements that do not have attributes automatically get the
	attribute type with the value simple. I don't want this. Any idea why
	this happens and how I can prevent it from happening?
	
	Code example:
	builder=SAXBuilder("org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser")
	handelaar=myErrorHandler()
	builder.setErrorHandler(handelaar)
	builder.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/validation",1)
	builder.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema",1)
	doc=builder.build(sys.argv[1])
	nsgml=Namespace.getNamespace("http://www.opengis.net/gml")
	nsows=Namespace.getNamespace("http://www.opengis.net/ows1.2")
	print doc.getRootElement().getChild("featureMember",nsgml).getAttributes()
	
	
	This outputs:
	[[Attribute: type="simple"]]
	
	
	
	The original XML file is in the attachment again.
