[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS-1525?page=comments#action_66750 ] Michael Thome commented on AXIS-1525: -------------------------------------
I've been looking at the code - serialization looks pretty straightforward, but deserialization is going to be tough - off hand, I don't see a way to do it without serious structural changes (dealing with ambiguities and pushing/popping group context(s)). Strictly speaking, this is an issue of proper representation of model groups in general, and not merely the xsd:group element. e.g. the codegen is also wrong for constructs like the following: <definitions targetNamespace="urn:auth:bbn:com" xmlns:tns="urn:auth:bbn:com" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/"> <types> <xs:schema> <xs:complexType name="YAT"> <xs:sequence> <xs:choice maxOccurs="unbounded"> <xs:element name="a" type="xs:string"/> <xs:element name="b" type="xs:string"/> </xs:choice> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> </xs:schema> </types> </definitions> For correct representation, we'd need a class something like: class YAT { Group1[] sequence; static class Group1 { String a,b; } } > xsd:group behavior is wrong > --------------------------- > > Key: AXIS-1525 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS-1525 > Project: Axis > Type: Bug > Components: Serialization/Deserialization > Versions: 1.2 Beta > Reporter: Steve Green > Fix For: 1.2.1 > Attachments: 1525.diff, SomeType.java, another.wsdl, group.patch, > groupgen.patch, sample.wsdl, test.wsdl.groups.tar > > WSDL2Java generates separate types for groups, and objects that reference > groups end up with a children object. The problem is that serialization of > that object should not show the group in XML. The elements of the group > should appear on the wire as if they were elements of the referencing object. > It seems that the problem might be fixable by changing the way in which > WSDL2Java generates classes with groups. The bean writer could recurse in to > groups and treat the elements as elements of the object being written. This > might create problems when trying to properly handle xsd attributes like > minOccurs=0, etc.. that appear on the group reference. > Another possible solution would be to add some info to the type description > so that the serialization could could recognize a group reference and do the > right thing. The same would need to be true of the deserializer. This fix > involves a change to the code generator as well as changes to the Axis engine. > N O T E: I am interested in supplying a fix for this problem. Please > comments on this issue so that I chose the method that best fits the design > goals of the Axis developers. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
