[jbossws-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Created: (JBWS-2345) SOAPBody.getElementsByTagName() returns an empty NodeList

SOAPBody.getElementsByTagName() returns an empty NodeList --------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBWS-2345 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBWS-2345 Project: JBoss Web Services Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public (Everyone can see) Components: jbossws-native Affects Versions: jbossws-native-3.0.1 Environment: JBoss 4.2.3 with jbossws-3.0.1-native-2.0.4.GA (the one that comes with 4.2.3 out of the box) Windows XP Professional 5.1 Service Pack 2 Reporter: jrostosk Priority: Minor SOAPHandler uses SOAPMessageContext to get SOAPMessage. Then get SOAPBody via SOAPMessage.getSOAPBody(). Since SOAPBody extends org.w3c.dom.Element, use the following to get at <arg0> Element arg0Element = (Element) body.getElementsByTagName("arg0").item(0); System.out.println("arg0Element is null: " + (arg0Element == null)); // IT'S NULL Here's the code: public boolean handleMessage(SOAPMessageContext msgContext) { try { // see what's coming in System.out.println("------INCOMING---------"); SOAPMessage message = msgContext.getMessage(); message.writeTo(System.out); System.out.println("------------------------"); // get <arg0> SOAPBody body = message.getSOAPBody(); Element arg0Element = (Element) body.getElementsByTagName("arg0").item(0); System.out.println("arg0Element is null: " + (arg0Element == null)); // IT'S NULL ... } } Here's the output: ------INCOMING--------- <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:jcat='http://catalog.javatunes.com/' xmlns:soapenv='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/'><... xmlns:jcat='http://catalog.javatunes.com/'><arg0>nn </arg0> </jcat:findByKeyword> </soapenv:Body></soapenv:Envelope> ------------------------ arg0Element is null: true NOTE: the whitespace nodes in the message are added by JBoss somewhere, the source message contained no whitespace. (Shouldn't matter anyway.) You can see that <soapenv:Body> indeed has an <arg0> element (in no namespace). I also tried this with <jcat:findByKeyword> using both getElementsByTagName and getElementsByTagNameNS, both yielding same result. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
