-------------------------------------
Assignee: Jacob Danner
> 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
> Assignee: Jacob Danner
> 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.
