Oracle9i: Difference between oraxml and oracle.xml.parser.v2.DOMParser?

Question

I have parsed the following xml document with the oraxml batch
and with the sample '..\xdk\demo\java\parser\dom\DOMSample' and
observed a diffent behavior in Oracle9i:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<Document xmlns:n1='urn:example:some-names'
xmlns:n2='urn:example:some-names'>
<BadAttrs_XML_1.0 att='1' att='2' />
<BadAttrs_Namespaces n1:att='1' n2:att='2' />
<OKAttrs_XML_1.0 att='1' n2:att='2' />
</Document>
----------------------------1.) oraxml
C:\oracle\ora9011\xdk\demo\java\parser\dom>oraxml -version
-warning Namespaces2.xml
Parser version: Oracle XDK Java 9.0.1.0.0 Production
The input XML file is parsed without errors using partial
validation mode
Oraxml does not recognize the two attributes with the same name
in element 'BadAttrs_XML_1.0' as an error.
2.) oracle.xml.parser.v2.DOMParser
C:\oracle\ora9011\xdk\demo\java\parser\dom>java DOMSample
Namespaces2.xml
file:Namespaces2.xml<Line 8, Column 38>: XML-0124: (Fata
l Error) An attribute cannot appear more than once in the same
start tag.
oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLParseException: An attribute cannot
appear more than once in the same start tag.
I have modified the DomSample.java. The DomParser just checks for
well-formed documents and doesn't validate the document anymore.
(only a comment before
parser.setValidationMode(DOMParser.DTD_VALIDATION);)
My question is:
Is there really a difference between oracle.xml.parser.v2.oraxml
and oracle.xml.parser.v2.DOMParser or which parameters do I have
to use to get the same results?
With Oracle8i, both report an xml error!!
(Oracle9i, Win2000, JDK1.3)
Thanx in advance!

Answer 1

It would appear that there is a difference when a loadjava is given a jar vs. the individual class files. When I load the jar, I get the previously described error, but when I load the individual class files (the same class files that the jar contains) the error goes away.
Why?
