Hi again,

I did look at the implementation and I have some thoughts and comments.

* This addresses how Camel-JAXB reads XML, which is good. But another aspect
is how Camel-JAXB produces XML. E.g. in the case I was hitting, camel/jaxb
was marshalling "bad" data that could not be unmarshalled on the other end
of the wire.
  So I think filtering for the marshalled content needs to be here too.

* Yet whole filtering thing needs to be optional. E.g. XML1.1 does not have
that restriction, so I would do some sort of config-driven on/off switch.
  Camel just does not have enough knowledge about intended payload to make
the informed decision.

* By default this option should be off for backward compatibility. Otherwise
there is a chance of unexpected side effects for those who upgrade.

* Would be nice for camel to log the fact of replacement. Silent body
modification may be frustrating to users, and add pain to troubleshooting.
  - BTW this is the reason why I would go for
XmlStreamReader/XmlStreamWriter filtering. It would give mostly the same
effect, but in contrast to plain Reader, Xml* classes do know some context.
And thus may log meaningful [somewhat] messages.



Down to code level, I'm attaching patch with a test for JaxbFilterReader.


* I'm not sure the filtering goes exactly per spec referred (
http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-xml-20040204/#NT-Char).
E.g. CR/LF/Tab are filtered out, although these should not be.

Also, the spec  mentions 2 slightly different things.

1. Character range. Chars not in that range are not valid for XML 1.0.
2. Discouraged characters (see the "Note:" section). Additional restrictions
on top of #1.

The test assumes #1. (and I'm having hard times to interpret implications of
"discouraged").

* Test indicates end-of-stream problem with no-args read(). And I believe
there is no need to override no-args read() at all, as it delegates to
read(char[], int, int).

* I believe there is also an problem in 3-args read(), "len - off" part. I
would expect "len" here. Test indicates that issue - unless I missed
something and set incorrect expectations.


Hope this makes sense.

Pavel
