[Bug xml/24496] XML Parser fails to handle a Properties XML file

[dog at gnu dot org]

------- Comment #6 from dog at gnu dot org  2005-12-15 14:39 -------
Let me explain a little further. In the DTD there is a comment, then some
space, then the "<?xml". XML says that the TextDecl of external parsed entities
must be the first construct in the entity (the first characters, after BOM
detection). Therefore the "<?xml" does not signal a TextDecl but a PI, and the
definition of a PI states that it cannot have "xml" (irrespective of case) as
its target.

This is a bug, but not in our XML parsing code. Sun's DTD is not well-formed. I
have rewritten the loadFromXML method to use StAX instead of SAX; since StAX
supports a property by which we can ignore external entities, we can ensure
that the not-well-formed DTD is not read. This patch includes code to check the
validity of the properties XML.
