[castor-dev] Should IDResolver.resolve be class aware ?

[Emmanuel Bourg]

Currently the resolve method in the IDResolver interface only accepts one string as argument, assuming all objets unmarshalled will have distinct IDREFs, but 2 objects of 2 different classes could have the same id, for example :

<root>
<a id="123"/>
<b id="123"/>

<c id="456">
<a>123</a>
</c>
</root>

Unmarshalling this document will lead to an IllegalArgumentException, because the reference 123 used in the C element will be resolved to the instance of B instead of the instance of A as expected.

I suggest adding a java.lang.Class argument to the IDResolver.resolve method, that would fix this issue. I can provide a patch if needed.
