When an element is nil, weblogic (8.1 sp3) sends an element with xsi:nil='1', however, it does not send type information with xsi:type=xxxx. It causes exception in org.jboss.xb.binding.sunday.unmarshalling.SundayContentHandler.java. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBWS-1281 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBWS-1281 Project: JBoss Web Services Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: binding Affects Versions: jbossws-1.0.2 Environment: windows xp, linux, jdk1.5 Reporter: George Gan Fix For: jbossws-1.0.6 Attachments: SundayContentHandler.java When an element is nil, weblogic (8.1 sp3) sends an element with xsi:nil='1', however, it does not send type information with xsi:type=xxxx. It causes exception in org.jboss.xb.binding.sunday.unmarshalling.SundayContentHandler.java. I hacked to code to only compare the localpart: public void endElement(String namespaceURI, String localName, String qName) { ElementBinding elementBinding = null; QName endName = localName.length() == 0 ? new QName(qName) : new QName(namespaceURI, localName); StackItem item; while(true) { item = stack.peek(); if(item.cursor == null) { if(item.ended) { pop(); if(item.particle.isRepeatable()) { endRepeatableParticle(item.particle); } } else { elementBinding = (ElementBinding)item.particle.getTerm(); item.ended = true; break; } } else { if(!item.ended) // could be ended if it's a choice { endParticle(item, endName, 1); } ParticleBinding currentParticle = item.cursor.getCurrentParticle(); TermBinding term = currentParticle.getTerm(); if(term.isWildcard() && currentParticle.isRepeatable()) { endRepeatableParticle(currentParticle); } pop(); if(item.particle.isRepeatable()) { endRepeatableParticle(item.particle); } } } if(elementBinding == null) { throw new JBossXBRuntimeException("Failed to endElement " + qName + ": binding not found"); } //if(!elementBinding.getQName().equals(endName)) <--------------------------------------- hack starts here // GG hack only compare the local parts. In the case of the an element is nil, // there is no type prefix if(!endName.getLocalPart().equals( elementBinding.getQName().getLocalPart())) { throw new JBossXBRuntimeException("Failed to end element " + new QName(namespaceURI, localName) + ": element on the stack is " + elementBinding.getQName() ); } endElement(); }
