[Bodington-developers] IMS CP, Xerces and the vital asterisk

[Peter C. <Pet...@me...>]

Found the glitch, after considerable experimentation.  Different
versions of Xerces appear to treat a wildcard ("*") namespaceURI in
ElementImpl::getAttributeNS() differently.  This means that code that
successfully located <imsmd:langstring imsmd:lang=3D"en"> and =
<langstring
lang=3D"en"> in the version of the parser in which I developed the CP
extensions does not work with newer Xerces versions.

Anyone know of a portable way of wildcarding the namespace URI?
