The character ' is not normalized in class DOMWriter ---------------------------------------------------- Key: JBAS-3384 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-3384 Project: JBoss Application Server Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public (Everyone can see) Components: Other Affects Versions: JBossAS-4.0.4.GA Environment: All operating system and software platform Reporter: Dirk Moegenburg Problem: --------- The following soap message should parsed by JBossWS/JBoss 4.04GA <soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <soap:Body> <oms:ExecuteResponse xmlns:oms="http://omsoe.crm.tmobile.net/services/oms"> <data> <ReturnValue code="NOT_VALID" validationErrors="invalid XML &lt;xml-fragment xmlns:ins=&quot;http://omsoe.crm.tmobile.net/datatypes/ccoscks/instal... xmlns:xsi=&quot;http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance&quot; xmlns:oms=&quot;http://omsoe.crm.tmobile.net/services/oms&quot; xmlns:soapenv=&quot;http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/&quo...;: Expected elements 'contractNumber iccid msisdn' before the end of the content in element contractIdentificator&#xa;" /> </data> </oms:ExecuteResponse> </soap:Body> </soap:Envelope> The following exception "caused by: java.io.IOException: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Element type "ReturnValue" must be followed by either attribute specifications, ">" or "/>"." is thrown by JBoss. Analysis: --------- The problem is caused by the XML attribute expression: validationErrors="invalid XML ... Expected elements 'contractNumber iccid msisdn' before the end of the content..." JBoss performs the following steps: (1) Converting the soap xml snippet(see above) from XML in a DOM document (2) Converting DOM document in the xml snippet with the following result: validationErrors='invalid XML ... Expected elements 'contractNumber iccid msisdn' before the end of the content' The XML attribute value is not wellformed because the embedded ' character is not allowed. The bug is caused by the class "org.jboss.util.xml.DOMWriter.java". The character ' is not normalized in the methode: private String normalize(String s). Solution: --------- The following code snippet has added in the case statement of the method normalize(): case '\'': { str.append("&apos;"); break; } -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
