FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.5.0_02"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_02-b09)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_02-b09, mixed mode, sharing)

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
when i validate a xml file with a schema using JAXP1.3, I get the following errorMessage:

org.xml.sax.SAXParseException:
           http://www.w3.org/TR/xml-schema-1#cvc-complex-type.3.2.2?link&x

instead if I use Xerces propraitory API, then I get a very meaningfull message:

org.xml.sax.SAXParseException:
           cvc-complex-type.3.2.2: Attribute 'x' is not allowed to appear in element 'link'.

on some research i found that, when JAXP1.3 is used, it is not able find Resource Bundle, and thus it composed error message by separating message format arguments
by '#'

This is a bug in JAXP 1.3 implementation in xerces bundled with jdk1.5
i tried in both 1.5.0 and 1.5.0_1

without proper error messages it is difficut to trace what the exception is talking about...

Sun Team, plz fix it .............

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
add any invalid attribute to a valid xml and try to perform schema validation.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
exception messages should be clear : for example
   org.xml.sax.SAXParseException:
           cvc-complex-type.3.2.2: Attribute 'x' is not allowed to appear in element 'link'.
ACTUAL -
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException:
           http://www.w3.org/TR/xml-schema-1#cvc-complex-type.3.2.2?link&x


REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
use xerces proprietory api. then we get proper error messages.
