Inconsistent reading of formatted xml when validating schema about woodstox HOT 4 CLOSED

This is happening in both commit 1d7affd and version 4.4.1.

If I understand you description correctly, behavior is as expected. There is no way to reliably consider a sequence of whitespace characters to be definitely ignorable whitespace (logical event) without schema information. It may just happen to be white space, but could be regular text segment. This determination depends solely on schema declaration, whether there is cdata expected, or not -- it's ignorable white space only in latter case (and if there was some other character data this would be validity violation).

So the code works as intended unless I am missing something.

Fair enough. Seems the issue is un cxf then. Already sent a pr for that. Thanks for the input!

@elrodro83 No problem: this is a confusing aspect and earlier handling (woodstox 1.x or 2.x) may have differed. Stax specification is sometimes vague or mum about some aspects as well,.

But use of SPACE vs CHARACTERS now is based on my best understanding of the specs, javadocs and such.
