NPE marshalling simple anonymous types -------------------------------------- Key: JBXB-78 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBXB-78 Project: JBoss XML Binding (JBossXB) Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: JBossXB-1.0.0.CR6 Reporter: Alexey Loubyansky Assigned To: Alexey Loubyansky Fix For: JBossXB-1.0 If a complex type contains an element which contains an anonymous simple type with restriction. E.g: - <complexType name='TelephoneNumber'> <sequence> <element name='areaCode' nillable='true'> <simpleType> <restriction base='string'> <pattern value='[0-9]{5}'/> </restriction> </simpleType> </element> <element name='number' nillable='true' type='string'/> </sequence> </complexType> This causes a NullPointerException because the class MarshallerImpl is expecting the type to have a QName. The exception is at the bottom of the e-mail, the attached war can be used to reproduce the problem (use SoapUI to send the request message). Looking at the marshalSimpleType method of the MarshallerImpl class the QName of the type is used to check if it is QName or NOTATION, checking that the QName is set before using it appears to fix this problem. Second the method marshalCharacters also makes use of the QName of the type to check if the namespace of the type is the schema namespace. For both of these problems checking for null before using the QName appears to fix the problem and my web service works as expected (I have attached a patch containing my changes). Could you please let me know if this is an appropriate fix?
