XMLJavaTypeAdapter not working in Exception Classes --------------------------------------------------- Key: JBWS-3690 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBWS-3690 Project: JBoss Web Services Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: jbossws-cxf Affects Versions: jbossws-cxf-4.2 Reporter: Mustafa Musaji Assignee: Mustafa Musaji Fix For: jbossws-cxf-4.2.2 Attachments: cxf5219.diff, cxfTest.jar @XMLJavaTypeAdapter usage in Exception Classes does not work when mapping to a class not in the JAXB Context. {code:title=MyEJB.java} @Stateless @WebService public class MyEJB { public void launcheMyException() throws MyException { return; } } {code} {code:title=MyException.java} @XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD) public class MyException extends Exception { @XmlJavaTypeAdapter(Cl1ToCl2Adapter.class) MyClass1 obj1; @XmlJavaTypeAdapter(NoArgObjAdapter.class) NoArgObj obj2; public MyClass1 getObj1() { return obj1; } public void setObj1(MyClass1 obj1) { this.obj1 = obj1; } public NoArgObj getObj2() { return obj2; } public void setObj2(NoArgObj obj2) { this.obj2 = obj2; } } {code} {code:title=Cl1ToCl2Adapter.java} public class Cl1ToCl2Adapter extends XmlAdapter<MyClass2,MyClass1> { @Override public MyClass2 marshal(MyClass1 v) throws Exception { return new MyClass2(); } @Override public MyClass1 unmarshal(MyClass2 v) throws Exception { MyClass1 mc1 = new MyClass1(v.getS2()); return mc1; } } {code} This is what the resulting WSDL contains. Obj2 is mapped fine to a String, but MyClass1 is not and should have the MyClass2 mapping here. {code:xml} <xs:complexType name="MyException"> <xs:sequence> <xs:element name="str" nillable="true" type="xs:string"/> <xs:element name="obj2" nillable="true" type="xs:string"/> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> {code} If you add the same adapter to a non Exception class it works just fine. This is NOT a duplicate of JBWS-3552 as I believe in that use case only known JAXB types were tested (HashMap, Strings etc). This issue is when you are using custom classes that need to be mapped.
