xml:lang in faultstring

[Jan Kostelansky]

Hi,
based on RMH page 117 it is possible to define language for fault string using xml:lang attribute as follows

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<soap:Envelope
xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="<a href="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/</a>
<a href="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/</a>
"
>
<soap:Body>
<soap:Fault>
<faultcode>soap:Client</faultcode>
<faultstring xml:lang="es">spanish</faultstring>
<faultactor />
<detail />
</soap:Fault>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

However when I try to parse this code with DOM parser in JSE 5 I got this exception

org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: cvc-type.3.1.1: Element 'faultstring' is a simple
 type, so it cannot have attributes, excepting those whose namespace name is ide
ntical to 'http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance' and whose [local name] is
one of 'type', 'nil', 'schemaLocation' or 'noNamespaceSchemaLocation'. However,
the attribute, 'xml:lang' was found.

DO you have any idea what's going wrong. I am building DOM in following code

static final String JAXP_SCHEMA_LANGUAGE =
    "http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/properties/schemaLanguage";
static final String W3C_XML_SCHEMA =
    "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; 
 
...
 
try{
DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
factory.setNamespaceAware(true);
factory.setValidating(true);
try {
  factory.setAttribute(JAXP_SCHEMA_LANGUAGE, W3C_XML_SCHEMA);
} 
catch (IllegalArgumentException x) {
  // Happens if the parser does not support JAXP 1.2
  x.printStackTrace(System.err);
} 
DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
builder.setErrorHandler(this);
Document document = builder.parse(new File(_file));
}
catch(ParserConfigurationException exc){
exc.printStackTrace(System.err);
}
catch(SAXException exc){
exc.printStackTrace(System.err);
}
catch (IOException exc){
exc.printStackTrace(System.err);
}

Thank you, Jan

xml:lang attribute is allowed in <faultString> tag.
Usually we don't define xml prefix and namespace explicitly as it is bound to special namespace..
Try to declare xml namespace as below.
xmlns:xml="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace"
and see whether you should be able to get through or not?

Thank you for answer
I added namespace declaration for xml namespace, but got the same result
