i'm working with 2.1M1 client library, and while issuing some PROPPATCH methods, i noticed a simple but very annoying bug. If only the namespace URI (and not the namespace abbreviation prefix) of the property name is specified, it simply does not work, because in XMLWriter there are some (apparently) debug strings.
Have a look, while trying to PROPPATCH the "creator" property in "http://my.name/space"; :
PROPPATCH /slide/files/prova/prova.gif HTTP/1.1
Authorization: Basic blablablabla
Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8
User-Agent: Jakarta Commons-HttpClient/2.0final
Host: 192.168.0.9:8081
Cookie: $Version=0; JSESSIONID=DF25CA151315F5F8538CE91AD904F554; $Path=/slide
Content-Length: 159
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<D:propertyupdate xmlns:D="DAV:">
<D:set>
<D:prop>
<op3creator xmlns="http://my.name/space";></creator>
</D:prop>
</D:set>
</D:propertyupdate>What's that op3? and what are op4, nc3 and nc4? I think they were added while coding to make some tests and have a quick feedback, the code is :
switch (type) {
case OPENING:
if ((namespaceInfo != null) && (namespaceInfo.length()>0)) {
buffer.append("<op3" + name + " xmlns=\"" + namespaceInfo
+ "\">");
} else {
buffer.append("<op4" + name + ">");
}
break;
case CLOSING:
buffer.append("</" + name + ">");
break;
case NO_CONTENT:
default:
if ((namespaceInfo != null) && (namespaceInfo.length()>0)) {
buffer.append("<nc3" + name + " xmlns=\"" + namespaceInfo
+ "\"/>");
} else {
buffer.append("<nc4" + name + ">");
}
break;
}
In CVS it results this strings are there from 1.3 version of XMLWriter, dated 14/04/04 and are still there in version 1.5 dated 22/04/04 tagged for 2.1M1. Also, if NO_CONTENT and no namespace, it misses the final slash (near nc4), thus producing an open element instead of a no content one.
The version under the 2.1 branch is the 1.2, which does not have this problem.
Should I submit a bug report?
Ciao, Simone Gianni
