FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.6.0_02-ea"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_02-ea-b01)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.6.0_02-ea-b01, mixed mode, sharing)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Microsoft Windows 2000 [Version 5.00.2195]

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
The same code and file works with java 1.4.2 and java 1.5 but fail with java 1.6.
When parsing an xml file, an erroneous association is made by the parser between a tag and an attribut. it seem like if the association is made with the attribut of the next tag but truncated to the length of the expected attribut.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
use the source code and xml file there after. For example in the same directory if the source is "MyParserXml. java"and the file "xmlFile.xml ".
C:\Opt\jdk1.6.0_02\bin\java MyParserXml .\xmlFile.xml

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
this a test with JAVA 1.5 or JAVA 1.4.2
