    Description


      Name: gm110360 Date: 04/07/2003


      FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
      java version "1.4.2-beta"
      Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2-beta-b19)
      Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2-beta-b19, mixed mode)

      FULL OS VERSION :
      Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

      (Note: also shown error on win98 2nd edition)

      A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :

      Parsing a large file with many entities using SAX or DOM, an exception will be thrown: org.xml.sax.SAXException: Fatal Error: URI=null Line=595: Parser has reached the entity expansion limit "64,000" set by the Application.


      STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :

      Run the source. Please email me for example test file. (testfile.xml)

      In case you don't want to email me for the file, here is how to create one:

      1) create an testfile.xml in the same directory where you run the code
      2) Paste the following:

      <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
      <!--DTD for vocab -->
      <!DOCTYPE FirstNode [
      ELEMENT FirstNode (ChildNode)*
      ELEMENT ChildNode (#PCDATA)

      </ChildNode>

      </FirstNode>

      3) Repeatedly copy and paste the <ChildNode>...</ChildNode> content for about 196 times inside the <FirstNode>..</FirstNode>

      When you run, the error happens after reading about 195 ChildNode.

      You can change line 30 and 31 of source:
              test.DOMRead();
              //test.SAXRead();
      to:
              //test.DOMRead();
              test.SAXRead();

      to test SAX error. In both cases, an exception was generated.


      EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
      No error.
      Exception when run
