Spurious output while using JAXP DOM APIs with Xerces-J 2.9.1

[Mukul Gandhi]

I have written a program using Xerces-J 2.9.1 JAXP 1.3 DOM APIs to
validate XML documents with the XML Schema. The program is below (I
have omitted imports):

public class SchmValidateDOM implements ErrorHandler {

   public static void main(String[] args) {

     SchmValidateDOM sv = new SchmValidateDOM();
     sv.parseFile(args[0]);
   }

   private void parseFile(String filename) {

   try {
       DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
       dbf.setNamespaceAware(true);
       dbf.setValidating(true);
       dbf.setAttribute(
           "http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/properties/schemaLanguage";,
           "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";);
       DocumentBuilder docBuilder = dbf.newDocumentBuilder();
       docBuilder.setErrorHandler(this);
       Document document = docBuilder.parse(new File(filename));

       NodeList nl = document.getElementsByTagName("QUANTITY");
       for (int i = 0; i < nl.getLength(); i++) {
         System.out.println(nl.item(i).getFirstChild().getNodeValue());
       }
   }
   catch(ParserConfigurationException pce) {
       pce.printStackTrace();
   }
   catch(SAXException se) {
      se.printStackTrace();
   }
   catch(IOException ioe) {
      ioe.printStackTrace();
   }

 }

 public void error(SAXParseException exception) throws SAXException {
     System.out.println("Line: "+exception.getLineNumber()+", Column:
"+exception.getColumnNumber()+",   Message: "+exception.getMessage());
  }

 public void fatalError(SAXParseException exception) throws SAXException {
     System.out.println("Line: "+exception.getLineNumber()+", Column:
"+exception.getColumnNumber()+", Message: "+exception.getMessage());
 }

 public void warning(SAXParseException exception) throws SAXException {
     System.out.println("Line: "+exception.getLineNumber()+", Column:
"+exception.getColumnNumber()+", Message: "+exception.getMessage());
   }

}

I have overridden the ErrorHandler to have my custom behaviour.

This program works fine, and for an example XML document, it produces
the following output:

Line: 24, Column: 9, Message: cvc-complex-type.2.4.a: Invalid content was found
starting with element 'ISBN'. One of '{QUANTITY}' is expected.
187
85
129
129
129

You could see spurious integers appearing in the output at the end.

Can this be classified as a low priority bug ? Should I put this in Jira ?

Using the SAXParser, this problem doesn't come.
