XMLBeans integration (XMLBeanDeserializer) strips white space from elements
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: AXIS-2277
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS-2277
Project: Apache Axis
Type: Bug
Components: Serialization/Deserialization
Versions: 1.3
Reporter: Paul O'Keeffe
Priority: Minor
The code in XMLBeanDeserializer strips white space from the text within
elements. White space is significant within elements and should be retained.
Printing out the MessageElement (DOM Node) retrieved from the current context
passed in to this code shows that the white space is still there in the element
at this point. The call to XmlObject.Factory.parse() to convert the Node into
an XMLBeans XMLObject removes the white space from elements contained within
the Node.
Using a String version of the Node in the call to parse():
XmlObject xObj = XmlObject.Factory.parse(me.toString(), opts);
works fine, but costs the time to reparse the input. Perhaps XMLBeans provides
a means of converting a DOM Node to an XmlObject which retains the white space,
but we haven't yet found a better alternative to this workaround.
This may be a bug in XMLBeans itself. Given that the XmlOptions passed to
parse() make no mention of stripping white space, it seems to validate the
Principle of Least Surprise for it to be doing such things.
