JiBX fails when abstract type is used with flexible="true"
----------------------------------------------------------
Key: JIBX-402
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JIBX-402
Project: JiBX
Issue Type: Bug
Components: core
Affects Versions: JiBX 1.2.2
Reporter: Archie Cobbs
Suppose I have these classes:
{noformat}
class Parent {
public Child getChild();
}
abstract class Child {
public String getName();
}
class Son extends Child { }
class Daughter extends Child { }
{noformat}
and I want to handle XML that like this:
{noformat}
<parent>
<son name="fred">
</parent>
{noformat}
or
{noformat}
<parent>
<daughter name="sally">
</parent>
{noformat}
but I also want to allow and ignore other XML inside the <parent> tag using
flexible="true".
Even though JiBX can always recognize a "son" or "daughter" tag, it won't
compile this binding:
{noformat}
<mapping name="parent" class="Parent" ordered="false" flexible="true">
<structure field="child"/>
</mapping>
<mapping abstract="true" class="Child">
<value name="name" field="name" style="attribute"/>
</mapping>
<mapping name="son" class="Son" extends="Child">
<structure map-as="Child"/>
</mapping>
<mapping name="daughter" class="Daughter" extends="Child">
<structure map-as="Child"/>
</mapping>
{noformat}
You'll get this error:
{quote}Error: All child components must define element names for flexible='true'
{quote}
If you don't use "extends" it works. So basically JiBX has two great features -
extending abstract mappings and flexible="true", but they don't work together
even though there is no reason why they can't.
