XmlObject.parse xmlFragment workaround?

[Paul Grillo]

I have been having problems parsing incoming xml for my XMLBeans object.  The classes were generated from XSD Schemas.

 

 

XMLObjec Class Name:  VinDecodeRequest

 

If I populate it and issue oVinDecodeRequest.save(...) it produces the following xml.  It places <xml-fragment> where  normally integrated with our SOA system the xml-fragment tag is replaced with the the pair of tags:

 

<VinDecodeRequest xmlns="http://vindecode.servicebeans.trivin.com">  </VinDecodeRequest>

 

 

The input xml below parses:

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xml-fragment>
      <vin:ProductID xmlns:vin="http://vindecode.servicebeans.trivin.com">100</vin:ProductID>
      <vin:Fields xmlns:vin="http://vindecode.servicebeans.trivin.com">
            <com:Field xmlns:com="http://common.servicebeans.trivin.com">
                  <com:Name>VIN</com:Name>
                  <com:Value>4F4YR12U63TM07491</com:Value>
            </com:Field>
      </vin:Fields>
</xml-fragment>

 

The input xml does not parse:

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<VinDecodeRequest xmlns="http://vindecode.servicebeans.trivin.com">
      <vin:ProductID xmlns:vin="http://vindecode.servicebeans.trivin.com">100</vin:ProductID>
      <vin:Fields xmlns:vin="http://vindecode.servicebeans.trivin.com">
            <com:Field xmlns:com="http://common.servicebeans.trivin.com">
                  <com:Name>VIN</com:Name>
                  <com:Value>4F4YR12U63TM07491</com:Value>
            </com:Field>
      </vin:Fields>
</VinDecodeRequest>

 

The ONLY way i seem to be able to read in XML and create the appropriate VinDecodeRequest object is if the XML i'm reading in actually "contains" <xml-fragment> tags.  How can i XmlObject.parse to properly parse the incoming XML

 

 

The code i use is fairly straight forward, i set the schematype to the appropriate class

        XmlOptions opts = new XmlOptions();

        SchemaType type = XmlBeans.typeForClass(com.trivin.servicebeans.vindecode.VinDecodeRequest.class);

        opts.setDocumentType(type);

        XmlObject obj = XmlObject.Factory.parse(res.getInputStream(),opts);

Is there a simple workaround or explanation?  I simply need to be able to parse that second set of XML.

 

thanks for any help or advice.
