Node.setPrefix() doesn't throw an exception on bad argument

Name: inR10064 Date: 12/18/2000


  
    The implementation of the method org.w3c.dom.Node.setPrefix(String prefix) doesn't throw DOMException
when the parameter 'prefix' is invalid (See test.java below).
    Definition of the attribute prefix in p. 1.2 "Fundamental Interfaces" of DOM Level 2 Core
(http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Core/core.html#ID-1950641247) reads:
    
    " prefix of type DOMString, introduced in DOM Level 2
        ...
        Exceptions on setting
          DOMException INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR: Raised if the specified prefix contains an illegal
                         character.

                         NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised if this node is readonly.

                         NAMESPACE_ERR: Raised if the specified prefix is malformed, if the namespaceURI of
                         this node is null, if the specified prefix is "xml" and the namespaceURI of this
                         node is different from "http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace", if this node is an
                         attribute and the specified prefix is "xmlns" and the namespaceURI of this node is
                         different from "http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/", or if this node is an attribute
                         and the qualifiedName of this node is "xmlns". "
