[XmlSchema] issue with annotations: markup attributes and elements are not processed by XmlSchemaSerializer

[Fady Moussallam]

Hi,

 

It seems there is a bug in XmlSchemaSerializer from version 1.3.1 when
dealing with appInfo annotations which markup contains attributes and
sub-elements.

 

Instead of getting a serialized XML fragment like so:

 

<xs:annotation>

   <xs:appinfo>

      <jaxb:globalBindings generateIsSetMethod="true"/>

      <jaxb:schemaBindings>

          <jaxb:package  name="com.legstar.test.coxb.lsfileal"/>

      </jaxb:schemaBindings>

    </xs:appinfo>

</xs:annotation>

 

I am getting this:

 

<xs:annotation>

   <xs:appinfo>

      <jaxb:globalBindings/>

      <jaxb:schemaBindings/>

    </xs:appinfo>

</xs:annotation>

 

As you can see, attributes and inner-elements are not processed.

 

I traced back the issue to appendElement method where the following code:

 

        parent.appendChild(el);

        NamedNodeMap attributes = el.getAttributes();

        //check if child node has attribute  

        //create new element and append it if found

        int attributeLength = attributes.getLength();

        for (int i = 0; i < attributeLength; i++) {

            Node n = attributes.item(i);

            //assuming attributes got to throw exception if not later

            el.setAttribute(n.getNodeName(),

                    n.getNodeValue());

        }

 

        //check any descendant of this node

        //if there then append its child

        NodeList decendants = el.getChildNodes();

        int decendantLength = decendants.getLength();

 

should probably read like this:

 

        parent.appendChild(el);

        NamedNodeMap attributes = elTmp.getAttributes();

        //check if child node has attribute  

        //create new element and append it if found

        int attributeLength = attributes.getLength();

        for (int i = 0; i < attributeLength; i++) {

            Node n = attributes.item(i);

            //assuming attributes got to throw exception if not later

            el.setAttribute(n.getNodeName(),

                    n.getNodeValue());

        }

 

        //check any descendant of this node

        //if there then append its child

        NodeList decendants = elTmp.getChildNodes();

        int decendantLength = decendants.getLength();

 

Can anyone confirm if this is a known issue and how to get it fixed?

 

Thanks.
