Hi all I was working on MH-8959, where the problem was that in almost all internal XML structures the XML namespaces wasn't set correctly. For example all child elements inside the mediapackage node were related to the default namespace instead of the mediapackage namespace, with the result that all mediapackages were empty from a technical standpoint.
<ns2:mediapackage xmlns:ns2="http://mediapackage.opencastproject.org";> <track id=".../> </ns2> In this example, the element <mediapackage/> belongs to the namespace http://mediapackage.opencastproject.org while <track/> belongs to the default namespace and hence *not* to the mediapackage. To fix this I had to check all JAXB classes, all XPath queries and all hardcoded xml files including unit and integration tests. All together I had to change about 150 source files! We have tested the fix on our QA servers and it seems to be working well. To share the respondsibility to this big changeset I invited all of the commiters to review the changes on http://opencast.jira.com/source/cru/CR-MH-462. So everyone should especialy have a look at the parts they are experts in, if possible within this week. *Important!* With this fix, all XML's with wrong Namespaces will not work as exepcted anymore! That means all workflow-definitions, mediapackages, xml's on the file system, in the database and in search indices are affected! For those migrating from an earlier version to 1.4, this means adjusting the workflow definitions and transforming the mediapackages and workflow instances if the old content is still relevant. This change is particularly important for third party integrators and capture agent manufacturers that are uploading zipped mediapackages and not using the transactional ingest api. If the mediapackage is created from a 1.4 scheduler's RSS feed attachment, there should be no problem but if the mediapackages are built on the capture agent, the namespace issue applies as well.
