[jbossws-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Updated: (JBWS-2917) We're using buggy xalan version causing namespaces issues

We're using buggy xalan version causing namespaces issues --------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBWS-2917 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBWS-2917 Project: JBoss Web Services Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: jbossws-integration Reporter: Richard Opalka Assignee: Richard Opalka Priority: Blocker Fix For: jbossws-cxf-3.3.0, jbossws-metro-3.3.0, jbossws-native-3.3.0 JAXB internally uses XALAN. When I pass the following XML <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> <EndpointReference xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing'> <Address>http://localhost:8080/jaxws-endpointReference</Address> <Metadata wsdli:wsdlLocation='http://org.jboss.ws/endpointReference http://localhost:8080/jaxws-endpointReference?wsdl' xmlns:wsdli='http://www.w3.org/ns/wsdl-instance'> <wsam:InterfaceName xmlns:wsam='http://www.w3.org/2007/05/addressing/metadata' xmlns:wsns='http://org.jboss.ws/endpointReference'>wsns:Endpoint</wsam:InterfaceName> <wsam:ServiceName EndpointName='HelloPort' xmlns='' xmlns:wsam='http://www.w3.org/2007/05/addressing/metadata' xmlns:wsns='http://org.jboss.ws/endpointReference'>wsns:EndpointService</wsam:ServiceName> </Metadata> </EndpointReference> and process it with the following code: StreamSource source = new StreamSource(new StringReader(XML_SOURCE)); EndpointReference epRef = EndpointReference.readFrom(source); printXml(epRef.toString()); the output will be (should be identical) <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> <EndpointReference xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing'> <Address>http://localhost:8080/jaxws-endpointReference</Address> <Metadata wsdli:wsdlLocation='http://org.jboss.ws/endpointReference http://localhost:8080/jaxws-endpointReference?wsdl' xmlns:wsdli='http://www.w3.org/ns/wsdl-instance'> <wsam:InterfaceName xmlns:wsam='http://www.w3.org/2007/05/addressing/metadata'>wsn... <wsam:ServiceName EndpointName='HelloPort' xmlns:wsam='http://www.w3.org/2007/05/addressing/metadata'>wsn... </Metadata> </EndpointReference> As you can see xmlns:wsns namespace declaration is lost during the identity process :(
