[Vtd-xml-users] Token Length Error

[Erik F. <eri...@un...>]

Hi Jimmy,

I wrote a nice program using VTD-XML and and I am - as most of the time - very happy with it.
But now I was using some larger documents with it. The issue is - I think - that the XML format I have given (UIMA XMI format) stores multiple MB of string data in one attribute. This seems to cause the error

com.ximpleware.extended.ParseExceptionHuge: Token Length Error: Attr val too long (>0xfffff)

Now I was wondering why the maximum size of the tokens is that small. I know that for most XML documents that should suffice but in the case of UIMA XMI it can easily be exceeded.
Would it be possible to just raise this limit? Perhaps make it configurable?

Thanks,

Erik
