RE: Lost "inherited" attributes

[Tom Jordahl]

Sounds like it might be a bug.

A (small) reproducible test case in a Bugzilla report would be great.
A patch to fix the bug would be even better! :-)

Thanks

Subject: Lost "inherited" attributes 


Hi,

I'm not quite sure if this a bug or if it's just a usage error as I'm
working with axis for just a week now. Here's the problem:

I got a wsdl that defines a base type like this

        <s:complexType name="RequestBaseType">
                <s:attribute use="required" name="Type" type="s:string"/>
                <s:attribute ...
                ...                     
        </s:complexType>

And then I got an inherited type:

                <s:element name="Request">
                        <s:complexType>
                          <s:complexContent>
                                <s:extension base="s0:RequestBaseType">
                                        <s:sequence>
                                ...  
                                        </s:sequence>
                                        ...
                          </s:complexContent>
                        </s:complexType>
                </s:element>

>From the generated classes (wsdl2java creates a RequestBaseType and a
subclass Request) I setup a Request object including a value for the
attribute "Type" from the RequestBaseType and then I send the request using
the stub. But tcpmon shows that "Request" has no attributes set! It seems
that the inherited attributes are lost.

I finally fixed the "problem" by defining a dummy attribute in the "Request"
definition like this:

                <s:element name="Request">
                        <s:complexType>
                          <s:complexContent>
                                <s:extension base="s0:RequestBaseType">
                                        <s:sequence>
                                ...  
                                        </s:sequence>
                                        <s:attribute use="optional"
name="MyDummyType" type="s:string"/>
                          </s:complexContent>
                        </s:complexType>
                </s:element>            

Now the inherited attributes are used correctly!

Any clues for that?
