xsi:type on root element fo XML doc causes problems
---------------------------------------------------

         Key: TUSCANY-505
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TUSCANY-505
     Project: Tuscany
        Type: Bug

  Components: Java SDO Implementation  
    Versions: Java-M1    
 Environment: Windows XP
    Reporter: Simon Laws


If I read the following doc:

<tns:RootElement xmlns:p="commonj.sdo"
    xmlns:tns="http://www.apache.org/tuscany/interop";
    xmlns:xsi=" http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.apache.org/tuscany/interop interop01.xsd">
    <SimpleTypeWithName>SimpleTypeWithName</SimpleTypeWithName>
</tns:RootElement>

With the following schema

<schema xmlns=" http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
        targetNamespace="http://www.apache.org/tuscany/interop";
        xmlns:tns=" http://www.apache.org/tuscany/interop";>
 
  <include schemaLocation="interop10.xsd"/>
     
  <!-- top level test type -->      
  <complexType name="ComplexTypeRootType">
    <sequence>
      <!-- simple types -->
      <element name="SimpleTypeWithName" type="tns:SimpleTypeWithNameType"/>

    </sequence>
  </complexType>
       
  <element name="RootElement" type="tns:ComplexTypeRootType"/>
</schema>

The I get a valid document (doc) with some data objects in it out of the 
following code:

        FileInputStream inFileStream = new FileInputStream (inFileName);
        XMLDocument doc = XMLHelper.INSTANCE.load(inFileStream);

If I try in read in (note I have added and xsi:type attribute):

<tns:RootElement xmlns:p="commonj.sdo"
    xsi:type="tns:ComplexTypeRootType"
    xmlns:tns="http://www.apache.org/tuscany/interop "
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.apache.org/tuscany/interop interop01.xsd">
    <SimpleTypeWithName>SimpleTypeWithName</SimpleTypeWithName>
</tns:RootElement>

The XMLHelper silently makes an empty document, i.e. the root element is null.

I talked with Frank and he suggested changing the xsi:type to refer to a type 
that extends the root element type. This produced the same effect, i.e. and 
empty document. However xsi:type does seem to behave in both the base type and 
extension type case when attached to elements other than the root element.
