> Key: AXIS2-1938

> Project: Axis 2.0 (Axis2)
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: databinding
> Affects Versions: 1.1
> Environment: Windows XP, tomcat 5.5, Axis2 1.1
> Reporter: Bo Xie
> Assigned To: Amila Chinthaka Suriarachchi
> Attachments: StockQuoteServiceSkeleton.java, XMLBeanBinding.zip

> There are basically two issues.
> 1. The java objects created does not use the xsi:type in the XML. In my case,
> the xsi:type is for derived type, but the object created is still of base
> type.
> 2. The XML string generated from the client side has the xsi:type for Address
> object, so the service see it but did not generate the derived type according
> to the xsi:type(this is the issue reported above). But the server side
> generated XML string does not have the xsi:type for the objects, so the
> object XML string does not have xsi:type when the message received on the
> client side. Why the xsi:type is missing in this case? In both cases, I used
> types derived from the Address type. The client and service code are based on
> the XMLBean quickstart sample.
> Attached are
> 1. the WSDL file.
> 2.The build file that you can check if the WSDL2JAVA is proper for my case.
> 3. The client code
> 4. The server code.
> Below are the email exchange with Ajith Ranabahu.

> Hi there,
> I am new to axis2 with XMLBean data binding, please help me with the
> following issue.
> I modified the quickstart sample XMLBean program to try a WSDL with the
> following types. The type US-Address is a derived from type Address. I would
> like to create a service operation updateAddresses to change addresses of a
> company based on a symbol. The addresses is an array that can take either
> Address or USAddress instances.
> <xs:complexType name="Address">
> <xs:sequence>
> <xs:element name="name" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"/>
> <xs:element name="street" type="xs:string"/>
> <xs:element name="city" type="xs:string"/>
> </xs:sequence>
> </xs:complexType>
>
>
> <xs:complexType name="US-Address">
> <xs:complexContent>
> <xs:extension base="ipo:Address">
> <xs:sequence>
> <xs:element name="state" type="ipo:US-State"/>
> <xs:element name="zip" type="xs:positiveInteger"/>
> </xs:sequence>
> </xs:extension>
> </xs:complexContent>
> </xs:complexType>
> <xs:element name="updateAddresses">
> <xs:complexType>
> <xs:sequence>
> <xs:element name="symbol" type="xs:string"
> nillable="true"/>
> <xs:element name="addresses" type="ipo:Address"
> maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
> </xs:sequence>
> </xs:complexType>
> I used WSDL2JAVA with XMLBean data binding to generate the skeleton and
> stub code. All looks great and the SOAP exchange looks fine too.
> In the client code, I created one instance if USAddress and one
> instance of Address and put them into the addresses list. In the SOAP request
> message, the instances are as shown as follows below. Note, xsi-type for the
> instance indicate the correct types which is nice.
> <soapenv:Body>
> <updateAddresses xmlns="http://quickstart.samples/xsd";>
>
> <symbol>XYZ</symbol>
> <addresses xmlns:xsi="http;//www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
> xmlns:xsd="
> http://quickstart.samples/xsd"; xsi:type="xsd:US-Address">
> <name>company name</name>
> <city>Sunnyvale</city>
> <state>CA</state>
> <zip>94087</zip>
> </addresses>
> <addresses xmlns:xsi="http;//www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
> xmlns:xsd="http://quickstart.samples/xsd
> " xsi:type="xsd:Address">
> <name>company name</name>
> <city>Hong Kong</city>
> </addresses>
> </updateAddresses>
> </soapenv:Body>
> The problem is when the XML object mapped into java object on the service
> side, all the XML address object passed to the skeleton are all of Address
> type. I would expect one instance be Address type, another be USAddress type.
> Since xsi-type in the SOAP message has the right type, why the XMLBean object
> is not created as the derived type? Is there any option in WSDL2JAVA to make
> this work?
> From the XMLBean Address java object, how can I access the xsi-type
> attribute that was available in the XML string?
> If I am not heading the right direction, can anyone suggest some
> alternatives?
> Thanks for your time!

> Hi,
> The reason here is that you have set the type of the addresses element
> to be 'Address' rather than USAddress (the code generator would put
> the reference for the Address rather than the USAddress). However
> since the xsi:type attribute is present the deserializer should create
> the right object and you can just use a type cast to get to the right
> object.

> Hi,
> It seems to me that you have to go one level deep. See whether there
> is a getAddress method in the Address class.
> XMLBeans generates a lot of classes and things are a bit confusing
> specially when types and elements have similar names. AFAIK XMLBeans
> generates a class per type and element. So there would be a class
> generated for the address type and also for the address element. My
> guess is you have to check the address type object instead of the
> address element object.

> Hi,
> What you are trying to achieve is the value inheritance in XML. I
> think, unfortunately, the web services / XML / SOAP community is
> paying less attention to this topic. I encountered the same issue with
> XMLBeans binding. It forced me to change the XML schema. I introduced
> a new complex type with a 'choice'
> <complexType name="Address">
> <choice>
> <element name="USAddress" type="USAddress"/>
> <element name="OtherAddress" type="OtherAddress"/>
> </choice>
> </complexType>
> <xs:complexType name="OtherAddress">
> <xs:sequence>
> <xs:element name="name" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"/>
> <xs:element name="street" type="xs:string"/>
> <xs:element name="city" type="xs:string"/>
> </xs:sequence>
> </xs:complexType>
> <xs:complexType name="USAddress">
> <xs:complexContent>
> <xs:extension base="ipo:OtherAddress">
> <xs:sequence>
> <xs:element name="state" type="ipo:US-State"/>
> <xs:element name="zip" type="xs:positiveInteger"/>
> </xs:sequence>
> </xs:extension>
> </xs:complexContent>
> </xs:complexType>
> <xs:element name="updateAddresses">
> <xs:complexType>
> <xs:sequence>
> <xs:element name="symbol" type="xs:string" nillable="true"/>
> <xs:element name="addresses" type="Address" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
> </xs:sequence>
> </xs:complexType>
> </element>
> If you generate XML beans types with above changes, it will generate a
> Address type object which will have methods to check whether USAddress
> is set or the Other Address. No need of instanceof check. Do take a
> look at the generated method signatures of the Address XML type
> object, it should give you an idea to play with it.
> That said, this is just an another way of handling inheritance. I
> would like to see XML beans to inherantly support the polymorphism.

> Hi Ajith,
> The Address class only has getter and setter for name, city etc. No
> getAddress. Do you see this ignoring of xsi:type in creating instance as a
> bug?
> Besides using choice option as Ramesh suggested, do we run out of luck
> here? I am a little hesitate to use choice as in my case, the choice list
> changes quite fast. Keeping track of the exhaustive list of all the choices
> is a challenge.
