problem with baseparser.rb

[lars.wittmar]

Hello,

First my versions

ruby -vrrexml/rexml -e 'p REXML::VERSION,PLATFORM'
ruby 1.8.7 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 72) [i586-linux]
"3.1.7.2"
"i586-linux"

I tried to use wsdl2ruby (from soap4r) with a minimal wsdl file

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<wsdl:definitions
xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:xml="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace" >
</wsdl:definitions>

and got the following error

F, [2010-01-16T12:15:41.554627 #4788] FATAL -- app: Detected an exception. Stopping ... The 'xml' prefix must not be bound to any other namespace (http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml-names/#ns-decl)

this error comes from ../rexml/parsers/baseparser.rb (line 368) there is a check if the xml prefix is set properly.

attrs.each { |a,b,c,d,e|
                  if b == "xmlns"
                    if c == "xml"
#changed for debug
puts "Value of b: "+b
puts "Value of c: "+c
puts "Value of d: "+d
puts "Value of e: "+e
#end
                      if d != "http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace"
                        msg = "The 'xml' prefix must not be bound to any other namespace "+
                        "(http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml-names/#ns-decl)"
                        raise REXML::ParseException.new( msg, @source, self )
                      end

and here is the output after my changes

Value of b: xmlns
Value of c: xml
Value of d: "
Value of e: http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace
F, [2010-01-16T12:29:20.223423 #4879] FATAL -- app: Detected an exception. Stopping ... The 'xml' prefix must not be bound to any other namespace (http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml-names/#ns-decl)

after changing the if-clause from

if d != "http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace"

to

if e != "http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace"

everything works perfect.

Hopefully someone can verify that bug (or tell me that I'm an idiot ;-))

Thanks in advance

Lars
