Error description
If an element node that is constructed in an XSLT stylesheet or XQuery expression contains a comment node or a processing instruction node, and is validated against a schema type with simple content, the string value of the validated node is incorrect. The string value of the validated element will consist of only the text that precedes the first comment or processing node child of the element, rather than all of the text children in the element.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server V8.0 * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: If an XSLT stylesheet or an XQuery * * expression constructs and validates a * * tree, and some element in that tree * * has a type with simple content and * * also has a child node that is comment * * node or processing instruction node, * * the string value of the node, as * * returned by the fn:string function or * * other operations that return the * * string value of a node, might not * * contain all the text content of the * * element. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Install a fix pack that contains this * * APAR. * **************************************************************** The method in the processor that returns the string value of an element node checks whether the node has a type that has simple content. If it does, the method returns the string value of the first child of that element node. However, if the element also has comment node or processing instruction node children, that causes the method to return only the portion of the text that precedes the first such comment node or processing instruction node child.
Problem conclusion
The problem was fixed by checking whether an element node whose type has simple content has a single text node child. If it does, the string value of the text node child is returned as the string value of the element node; otherwise, the string values of all the text node children of the element are concatenated to produce the string value of the element node. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix pack 8.0.0.2.
