[forge-dev] [JBoss JIRA] Updated: (SEAMFORGE-179) An XML document parsed with the Forge XMLParser cannot be exported with XMLParser#toXML if it contains comments

An XML document parsed with the Forge XMLParser cannot be exported with XMLParser#toXML if it contains comments --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: SEAMFORGE-179 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SEAMFORGE-179 Project: Seam Forge Issue Type: Bug Components: Parsers / File Manipulation Affects Versions: 1.0.0.Alpha3 Reporter: Kevin Pollet Assignee: Kevin Pollet Priority: Blocker Fix For: 1.0.0.Alpha4 When the {{XMLParser#parse}} method is called on a stream which contains comments, DOM creates a Node named "#comment" and the corresponding Node is created by Forge parser. After that, when the {{XMLParser#toXML}} method is called on the XML root node an exception is thrown. At serialization Forge parser tries to create a Node with name "#comment" by using the method {{Document#createElement}} (which is illegal and result in a {{DOMException#INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR}}) instead of calling the method {{Document#createComment}}. IMO, the same problem could happen with others specific nodes. Maybe Shrinkwrap descriptor project could have the same problem, but it needs further investigations...
