OK, this confirms my gut feeling you might be using a custom JAXP implementation or such (that's why I asked for the dependency tree). Given JDK-6472960 was rejected and we're in the START_ELEMENT/END_ELEMENT scenario too, I'm leaning towards not fixing anything in CXF. Basically, the interpretation to the javadoc is that null could be returned if there's *no* prefix, as a consequence of the event not being a start/end element. javax.xml.XMLConstants.DEFAULT_NS_PREFIX (which is the empty string) is used to refer to default namespace prefix instead. This said, if you want to submit a patch for that class that solves the problem with your custom JAXP impl, I can verify it and possibly push it if it's fine.

As for the tests, it's not the CXF testsuite only being run; for instance, CXF is included in WildFly and Red Hat JBoss EAP, which go through additional testing including WS-I BP checks and full JavaEE certification testing.

Thanks for your reply, Alessio.

It turns out that one of the XMLStreamReader implementations involved was 
explicitly changing empty prefix to null to be in agreement with the Javadoc 
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/javax/xml/stream/XMLStreamReader.html#getPrefix()
 as the authors of code understood it (and not only they, see eg 
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-6472960)

It's kind of weird this was not reproduced by any test, though.
As I said, the problem is due to our own library, but it's worth noting that grepping the 
CXF source tree for "<Envelope" brings back nothing.
All the literal SOAP fragments used in the tests seem to be using non-empty 
prefixes.

Thanks

Subject: Re: ReadHeadersInterceptor requires element prefix?

mmh... looks like a bug, introduced by CXF-5891 + CXF-6319 (a QName
being constructed with prefix read from the stream and resulting null).
It's kind of weird this was not reproduced by any test, though.
Can you please create a jira and provide the dependency tree you
reproduced this with, just in case ?
I can most likely have a look in the next days.

Hi,
We are moving one of our projects from CXF 2.7.12 to 2.7.16.
A number of tests are failing with exceptions like the following:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: prefix cannot be "null" when creating a 
QName

org.apache.cxf.transport.ChainInitiationObserver.onMessage(ChainInitiationObserver.java:121)
 [cxf-2.7.16.jar:2.7.16]

The message being sent looks like
                  <Envelope 
xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";><Body>.....

It looks like ReadHeadersInterceptor.HeadersProcessor expects the elements 
(Envelope, Header) to have a prefix.
I can't find any requirement to this effect (that the SOAP namespace should not 
be a default namespace) in soap specs.

Am I missing something here, or is it a regression in ReadHeadersInterceptor?

Thanks
Vadim
