XmlComplexContentImpl.equal_to() fails to throw exception when unable to return
correct value
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: XMLBEANS-347
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XMLBEANS-347
Project: XMLBeans
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: Version 2.3
Environment: n/a
Reporter: Charles Butterfield
Priority: Critical
I was recently horrified to discover that valueEquals() fails silently for
complex types. For complex types the comparison is delegated to
XmlComplexContentImpl.equal_to() which simply returns "true" with the comment
"BUGBUG: by-value structure comparison undone".
Clearly the method should throw an exception to alert users to the issue, as do
various neighboring methods.
I first ran into this problem (today) while using an old xbean.jar (built in
early 2004). I then checked the 2.3.0 source and the bug still exists. So its
been there unchanged since version 1.0.4 at least.
Hopefully adding the exception is a no-brainer. Perhaps a working
implementation could follow.
