org.jboss.ws.core.soap.TextImpl does not implement org.w3c.dom.Comment ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBWS-2526 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBWS-2526 Project: JBoss Web Services Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public (Everyone can see) Components: jbossws-native Affects Versions: jbossws-native-3.0.5 Environment: JBoss 4.2.3.GA with jbossws-native-3.0.5.jar upgrade Reporter: Gerald Turner I have encountered a bug with JBossWS in a LogicalHandler that I have written. This handler serializes the Payload to a String using ordinary Transformer API. When the Payload contains an XML comment, a ClassCastException is thrown from within Xalan's TreeWalker class. TreeWalker casts the node to an org.w3c.dom.Comment. Here's the partial source to the handler: public boolean handleMessage(LogicalMessageContext context) { if (JAXWSUtil.isInbound(context)) { LogicalMessage message = context.getMessage(); Source payload = message.getPayload(); context.put("com.blah.blah.inbound.message.payload", payload); } return true; } public boolean handleFault(LogicalMessageContext context) { LogicalMessage message = context.getMessage(); Source outboundPayload = message.getPayload(); String outboundXML = JAXWSUtil.toString(outboundPayload); Source inboundPayload = (Source) context.get("com.blah.blah.inbound.message.payload"); String inboundXML = JAXWSUtil.toString(inboundPayload); // throws ClassCastException sendAlarm("The following fault occurred:\n\n" + outboundXML + "\n\nRequest:\n" + inboundXML); return true; } JAXWSUtil uses Transformer API like so: public static String toString(Source payload) { TransformerFactory factory = getTransformerFactory(); Transformer transformer = factory.newTransformer(); transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.ENCODING, "UTF-8"); transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes"); transformer.setOutputProperty("{http://xml.apache.org/xalan}indent-a...;, "2"); StringWriter output = new StringWriter(); StreamResult result = new StreamResult(output); transformer.transform(payload, result); return output.toString(); } Here's the ClassCastException stacktrace: java.lang.ClassCastException: org.jboss.ws.core.soap.TextImpl at org.apache.xml.serializer.TreeWalker.startNode(TreeWalker.java:287) at org.apache.xml.serializer.TreeWalker.traverse(TreeWalker.java:143) at org.apache.xalan.transformer.TransformerIdentityImpl.transform(TransformerIdentityImpl.java:389) at com.xo.nextgen.hvodwebservice.util.xslt.TransformerWrapper.transform(TransformerWrapper.java:42) at com.xo.nextgen.hvodwebservice.util.JAXWSUtil.toString(JAXWSUtil.java:272) at com.xo.nextgen.hvodwebservice.wsdl.handler.FaultNotificationHandler.handleFault(FaultNotificationHandler.java:147) at com.xo.nextgen.hvodwebservice.wsdl.handler.AbstractLogicalHandler.handleFault(AbstractLogicalHandler.java:1) at org.jboss.ws.core.jaxws.handler.HandlerChainExecutor.handleFault(HandlerChainExecutor.java:318) at org.jboss.ws.core.jaxws.handler.HandlerChainExecutor.handleFault(HandlerChainExecutor.java:216) at org.jboss.ws.core.jaxws.handler.HandlerDelegateJAXWS.callFaultHandlerChain(HandlerDelegateJAXWS.java:131) at org.jboss.ws.core.server.ServiceEndpointInvoker.callFaultHandlerChain(ServiceEndpointInvoker.java:140) at org.jboss.ws.core.server.ServiceEndpointInvoker.invoke(ServiceEndpointInvoker.java:284) at org.jboss.wsf.stack.jbws.RequestHandlerImpl.processRequest(RequestHandlerImpl.java:474) Here is the code to Xalan-2.7.0 TreeWalker around line 287: switch (node.getNodeType()) { case Node.COMMENT_NODE : { String data = ((Comment) node).getData(); // throws ClassCastException My project had been working with the JAX-WS Reference Implementation under JBoss 4.0 and I am in the process of converting the project to JBossWS so that it may be deployed on JBoss 4.2+. I mention this because I peeked into how the JAX-WS RI dealt with the javax.xml.soap.Text interface and it appears that Sun's SAAJ has distinct TextImpl and CommentImpl classes. -- 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
