XmlTransient annotation seems to be ignored
-------------------------------------------
Key: CXF-2041
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-2041
Project: CXF
Issue Type: Bug
Components: JAXB Databinding
Affects Versions: 2.1.4
Environment: Spring 2.5.6
Reporter: Kariem Hussein
Attachments: test-cxf-xmltransient.zip
Properties marked with @XmlTransient should be prevented from being mapped to
XML. For two objects with a parent-child relationship where the object
references are bi-directional, properties annotated accordingly should be
ignored during marshalling. I have tried different options, but could never
observe that @XmlTransient is actually taken into account.
# examples in peudo-code (test project will be attached)
Models:
class Parent {
List<Child> children;
}
class Child {
@XmlTransient // <-- annotated to exclude this property from XML marshalling
Parent parent;
}
Test:
testMarshalling {
Parent p = new Parent();
Child c = new Child();
c.setParent(p);
p.setChildren(Arrays.asList(c));
doSomethingViaWebService(p); // <-- throws Exception here
}
I could imagine that some problems arise when using another spring version than
the one packaged with CXF, but I think there should not be issues in such a
limited scenario. Either the documentation is missing important parameters or
there is actually a problem somewhere.
