FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.6.0_10-ea"

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Microsoft Windows XP Version 2002

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
XML data with square brackets is being parsed incorrectly.
The following XML is being parsed incorretly in java 1.6 :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rs>
<data
input3='aa[1]'
input4='bb[1]'
input6='cc[2]'
input8='dd[7]'
output2='ee[7]'
output4='ff[511]'
output6='gg[15]'
output7='hh[1]'
   />
</rs>

The java code (below ) generates the following output :

Attribute name is =input3 AND Attribute value is =aa[1]
Attribute name is =input4 AND Attribute value is =bb[1]
Attribute name is =input6 AND Attribute value is =cc[2]
Attribute name is =input8 AND Attribute value is =dd[7]
Attribute name is =output2 AND Attribute value is =ee[7]
Attribute name is =output4 AND Attribute value is =ff[511]
Attribute name is =output6 AND Attribute value is =hh[1]]
Attribute name is =output7 AND Attribute value is =hh[1]


The last two lins are WRONG !!!!!!



STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1. Create a file C:\_rf\jrebug.xml with the following content :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rs>
<data
input3='aa[1]'
input4='bb[1]'
input6='cc[2]'
input8='dd[7]'
output2='ee[7]'
output4='ff[511]'
output6='gg[15]'
output7='hh[1]'
   />
</rs>.

2. Run the code listed in the "source code" section.


3. Watch the parsed output. The last two lines are parsed incorrectly.
Theya are :
Attribute name is =output6 AND Attribute value is =hh[1]]
Attribute name is =output7 AND Attribute value is =hh[1]

THEY SHOULD BE :
Attribute name is =output6 AND Attribute value is =gg[15]
Attribute name is =output7 AND Attribute value is =hh[1]




EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Attribute name is =input3 AND Attribute value is =aa[1]
Attribute name is =input4 AND Attribute value is =bb[1]
Attribute name is =input6 AND Attribute value is =cc[2]
Attribute name is =input8 AND Attribute value is =dd[7]
Attribute name is =output2 AND Attribute value is =ee[7]
Attribute name is =output4 AND Attribute value is =ff[511]
Attribute name is =output6 AND Attribute value is =gg[15]
Attribute name is =output7 AND Attribute value is =hh[1]
ACTUAL -
Attribute name is =input3 AND Attribute value is =aa[1]
Attribute name is =input4 AND Attribute value is =bb[1]
Attribute name is =input6 AND Attribute value is =cc[2]
Attribute name is =input8 AND Attribute value is =dd[7]
Attribute name is =output2 AND Attribute value is =ee[7]
Attribute name is =output4 AND Attribute value is =ff[511]
Attribute name is =output6 AND Attribute value is =hh[1]]
Attribute name is =output7 AND Attribute value is =hh[1]

THE LAST TWO LINES ARE PARSED WRONG !!!

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
