Hello Castor team (especially Keith!),
we just discovered a new bug, this time in Castor XML.
It's easily reproducable: Just take an Object with an
Integer (or Long) identity field and try to unmarshal
it. The exception states that it was not possible to
convert a String into an Integer (or Long).
As we found out, the bug was introduced on July 20
(we made a checkout for Juli 19. and it worked).
As far as the CVS logs state, there was only one
relevant change that day, in XMLClassDescriptorAdapter,
which changed to version 1.10 (which is broken).
We tried to make sense WHY it doesn't work anymore,
but so far, we analyzed JDO pretty much, but not
the XML part. Additionally, the next day there so
many changes to this part (and FieldDescriptor),
which seem to depend on each other, that we can not
get it to work again AFTER that (so to speak on the
actual CVS).
The initial patch was from Guillaume Rousse and Lewis
Lin; that part seems to start the break.
<speculation>
As far as I understand it, it was a fix to suppress
a double identity on marshalling. So far, it suppresses
ANY identity field (at least the proper init of its
FieldDescriptor), with the result of a broken instance
of a FieldDescriptor which isn't capable of converting
any values to anything else then Strings.
</speculation>
Maybe someone (Keith?) can help at that point?
thanks a lot in advance,
Patric
sincerely,
Patric Bechtel
