Here are the "musts" for beta-3, and what I can tell of their current status. If any of this is inaccurate, please let me know.
M 8476 - must - Rich Looks like this is due to an "id" attribute. Rich suggests closing it. M 8646 - must - ? I can take this one tomorrow. I'll add a test which forces a serialization exception and confirms that we propagate it up correctly. M 9393 - must - Rich No information - Rich? M 9405 - must - Tom Tom has a fix for this in process, needs a little more testing. We should be able to nail it tomorrow. M 9717 - must - Tom Dealing with the basic set of schema types is being worked around by having a "not supported" exception for those types we don't handle. This doesn't solve the problem, but makes for a more comprehensible message. Longer term, we have to deal more gracefully with types + schema constructs which we don't understand yet. M 9780 - must - Rick Per Rick's last comment, there is a fix but it's a "work in progress". Rick, should we expect more here for beta-3? M 9987 - must - Glen Waiting for opinions, but my feeling is to just leave the code as it is and mark the bug invalid, since several JDK APIs do this same thing. --Glen
