DO NOT REPLY [Bug 45637] New: Add configuration option for == vs .equals() comparisons

https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=45637

           Summary: Add configuration option for == vs .equals() comparisons
           Product: Security
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Signature
        AssignedTo: security-dev@...
        ReportedBy: ashundi@...


ElementProxy initializes unconditionally the following
>
>    static ElementChecker checker = new ElementCheckerImpl.InternedNsChecker();
>
instead it should check a configuration option and initialize the appropriate
subclass of ElementCheckerImpl.

The default option should be .equals() though (change!).  Users preferring ==
should be able to configure it that way.

Correctness should trump optimization and even backward compatibility.

I have a fix for this on a local checkout. The problem is that there are many
more pointer comparisons in the code-base, e.g. in the Canonicalizer
implementations, and I'm not comfortable adding in a configuration option for
these until I can test with a DOM implementation that does not intern
namespaces.

Is there a DOM implementation available in open-source land that either does
not intern namespaces or allows disabling of interning via configuration?

Colm.
