Am I the only one having problems with search methods
public String getType (String name);
public String getValue (String name);
for prefixed names in the SAX2 AttributeList? Do they
only work when prefixes are swithed on in the parser?
If prefixes are switched on in the parser, are also
the unprefixed names stored in the attribute list for
the namespace aware access methods? Or do the
namespace aware search methods cut off the prefix
while searching? Does the attributeList know if
prefixes are switched on?
To me, the prefix switching option seems
confusing, especially in connection with the
AttributeList. Meanwhile, I would prefer Richard
Anderson's proposal always delivering the prefix
in startElement, and add similar support to the
attributeList.
In my opinion, when getValue with a single
parameter is included in the AttributeList, it
should be a convenience method that defaults
to the namespace of the element.
Best regards
Stefan
