[opencms-dev] A really weird XML Template related bug in 4.6

[Werner Punz]

Hi I spent the last several days researching into a weird XML related bug,
which I now could nail down to OpenCMS 4.6. (I and another Guy from germany
(thanks Clemens Wilkens to test several things out for me) could reproduce the
bug, and so far I nailed it down to several parts, where I´m not exactly sure
which one of them causes it, but the bug is definitely caused there.

Here is the description:

Following construct:


Mastertemplate; 
<?xml version="1.0"?> 
<XMLTEMPLATE> 
<TEMPLATE> 

<ELEMENT  name = "body"/> 

</TEMPLATE> 
</XMLTEMPLATE> 


The page which uses the mastertemplate above
  
<![CDATA[ test ]]> <method name="getServletPath"/> <![CDATA[test2]]> 


What happens is that the page is resolved into something follwing construct

test ]]> 

There seems to me a bug in xml resolution, cause I have similar problems
using XML elements. This only occurs however if the page and the template are
created new not imported from an older project.
I debugged into the system the last 3 hours and found out that the error
already occurs at the time the XML template is written from the temporary file.
So my conclusion, it either is already written down incorrectly into the
temporary file, or there is a bug in the CmsXmlControlFile class. I haven´t
debugged into the class yet to see if my conclusions are correct. But I would need
a comment from the OpenCMS developers regarding this problem and if it is
fixed already in the CVS tree and where!
