Currently we have a failing test because whitespace is not getting trimmed from a jndi-name. NOTE there is an extra space after SessionA | 2008-06-16 14:38:33,596 DEBUG [org.jboss.test.naming.ejb.TestEjbLinkBean] (WorkerThread#0[127.0.0.1:54701]) failed | javax.naming.NamingException: Could not dereference object [Root exception is javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: SessionA not bound] | at org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext.resolveLink(NamingContext.java:1254) | at org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext.java:767) | at org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext.java:776) | at org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext.java:629) | at javax.naming.InitialContext.lookup(InitialContext.java:351) | at org.jboss.test.naming.ejb.TestEjbLinkBean.testEjbLinkCaller(TestEjbLinkBean.java:74) | This is coming from the following jboss.xml | <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> | <!DOCTYPE jboss PUBLIC | "-//JBoss//DTD JBOSS 4.0//EN" | "http://www.jboss.org/j2ee/dtd/jboss_4_0.dtd"> | | <jboss> | <enterprise-beans> | <session> | <ejb-name>SessionB</ejb-name> | <jndi-name>naming/SessionB</jndi-name> | | <ejb-ref> | <ejb-ref-name>ejb/NoLinkSessionA</ejb-ref-name> | <jndi-name>naming/SessionA </jndi-name> | </ejb-ref> | | <ejb-local-ref> | <ejb-ref-name>ejb/NoLinkLocalSessionA</ejb-ref-name> | <local-jndi-name>naming/local/SessionA</local-jndi-name> | </ejb-local-ref> | | </session> | </enterprise-beans> | </jboss> | In our jboss.xml schema, jndi-name inhertis eventually from the simple xml type xsd:name which has a facet defined that says to normalise space. However, in the dtd (used above), jndi-name is just defined as #PCDATA But correcting the schema/dtd types wouldn't be the complete fix if xml validation is turned off since then it wouldn't look at the dtd/schema anyway. What I'd suggest is that we introduce a convenience annotation so you can specify whether whitespace should be preserved at the shema level, e.g. something like | @XmlRootElement(name="jboss", namespace=JavaEEMetaDataConstants.JBOSS_NS) | @JBossXmlSchema( | xmlns={@XmlNs(namespaceURI = JavaEEMetaDataConstants.JAVAEE_NS, prefix = "jee")}, | ignoreUnresolvedFieldOrClass=false, | namespace=JavaEEMetaDataConstants.JBOSS_NS, | elementFormDefault=XmlNsForm.QUALIFIED, | | // HERE | normaliseSpace=true) | | @XmlType(name="jbossType", namespace=JavaEEMetaDataConstants.JBOSS_NS) | public class JBoss50MetaData extends JBossMetaData | With the option on paricular elements/attributes to do @XmlPreserveWhitespace This would then more easily map to what we used to do in the old parsing where it trimmed everything (from the old org.jboss.metadata.MetaData utility class) | public static String getElementContent(Element element, String defaultStr, boolean replace) | { | if (element == null) | return defaultStr; | | NodeList children = element.getChildNodes(); | String result = ""; | for (int i = 0; i < children.getLength(); i++) | { | if (children.item(i).getNodeType() == Node.TEXT_NODE || | children.item(i).getNodeType() == Node.CDATA_SECTION_NODE) | { | result += children.item(i).getNodeValue(); | } | else if( children.item(i).getNodeType() == Node.COMMENT_NODE ) | { | // Ignore comment nodes | } | else | { | result += children.item(i).getFirstChild(); | } | } | | // HERE | | if (replace) | return StringPropertyReplacer.replaceProperties(result.trim()); | else | return result.trim(); | } | View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4158353#...
