How do I remove the duplicate attributes reported by the xerces SAX2 parser?

Very strange. For example, when I run “SAX2Print” (one of the example programs for using the SAX2 parser provided by Xerces), I get the following output: The first “visibleTo” attribute is the one I actually put on the element inside my .XML file. The second one is the default value specified for the element in the .XSD (W3C schema defition) file. As far as I can tell, these duplicate attributes happen in the following situation: 1. Using the Xerces SAX2 parser 2. Validation is ON 3. Your schema has attributes with default values specified 4. Hour XML file specifies a non-default value 5. You are using a W3C schema file (it works with just an ordinary DTD). What happens is that xerces reports the value set on the attribute, AND the default from the schema. I think this is a bug in the Xerces parser. I dont know how to fix it, except to check for the duplicate in your own code. Sorry.
