JAXBContextInitializer ignores some javax.xml.bind Annotations
--------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CXF-4036
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-4036
Project: CXF
Issue Type: Bug
Components: JAXB Databinding
Affects Versions: 2.5.1, 2.4.3
Reporter: d ferbas
{{org.apache.cxf.jaxb.JAXBContextInitializer}} ignores {{@XmlTransient}} and
{{@XmlJavaTypeAdapter}} at some locations. This can lead to fatal exceptions
because it tries to analyze (add) classes that are not intended to be
xml-marshalled.
{{@XmlTransient}} is ignored if placed on a setter (when using
{{@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.PUBLIC_MEMBER))}}. Jaxb (tested with jdk
1.6.0_18) honors this no matter if placed on getter or setter of the property.
The problem could be in
{{org.apache.cxf.jaxb.JAXBContextInitializer.isMethodAccepted(Method,
XmlAccessType)}} where a getter is accepted even if its setter has
{{@XmlTransient}}. As a workaround the annotation has to be placed on the
getter.
{{@XmlJavaTypeAdapter}} is ignored if placed on class level (that again is OK
for Jaxb).
The problem could be in
{{org.apache.cxf.jaxb.JAXBContextInitializer.addClass(Class<?>)}} where the
@XmlJavaTypeAdapter annotation is checked only if the class is an interface,
but not otherwise (especially the superclass is added w.o. checking if there is
a typeadapter to use).
As a workaround the annotation can be placed on the using field/property of the
type. But obviously this leads to duplication if the class with adapter is used
more than once.
