#6 A number in the tag is not allowed

[Anonymous]

When I try to use the XPathAPI I can't use a tag with a
number in it.
For example the tag: <Mededeling2> would not work,
because I got the exception:
com.hp.hpl.sparta.xpath.XPathException: Mededeling2 at
end of XPATH expression got "2<end of expression>"
instead of expected end of expression

This was fixed some time ago. To verify I added the following
JUNIT test to the regression tests:

/** Test for number in tag. */
public void testBug934193() throws ParseException,
IOException {
String x = "<Mededeling2><Foo/></Mededeling2>";
Document doc = Parser.parse(x);
Element foo = doc.xpathSelectElement
("/Mededeling2/Foo");
assertEquals(new Element("Foo"), foo);
}

This still didn't work for me using the 20031101 release. I
made a small hack to XPath.java, adding
<code>toks.wordChars('0','9');</code> at line 54. Not the
correct answer I know, but it makes my app function.

FWIW, it's fixed only in CVS and only the experimental(?)
module 'sparta5'.
The correct fix is to modify SimpleStringTokenizer.nextToken():
(aprox. on 20th line, the 'else' statement inside
'while..do' should be changed to:)

else
{
currentType = charType_[ch];
// -----> This is the fix.
//after the first character there can be numbers in a word
if (currentType == TT_NUMBER && ttype == TT_WORD)
currentType = TT_WORD;
// <-----
}
