I using Castor XML (castor-0.9.4.1.jar) to unmarshal an XML instance that contains an xs:any / AnyNode.
The anynode is coming out empty (array size 0) if I run the unmarshal as part of a Session Bean running on Weblogic 6.1. If I switch dedug on (org.exolab.castor.debug=true) I see lots of :- unable to find FieldDescriptor for 'REQUEST' in ClassDescriptor of AIPCASERQDATA Ignoring NRSOURCE no descriptor was found Ignoring UR_UNIT_CODE no descriptor was found Ignoring UR_USER_ID no descriptor was found Ignoring USAGEFLAG no descriptor was found Ignoring HEADER no descriptor was found Ignoring AN_CLIENT_NO no descriptor was found Ignoring AT_TITLE_SEQ no descriptor was found Ignoring AT_TITLE no descriptor was found Ignoring AT_SURNAME no descriptor was found <REQUEST> is the first element in the xs:any portion. But what is most confusing is if I use EXACTLY the same java classes but execute the class from a Main Application (outside of Weblogic) I find the XML file unmarshalls perfectly. However I get the following debug :- unable to find or create a ClassDescriptor for class: REQUEST unable to find or create a ClassDescriptor for class: com.rdf.nr.ctp.infrastructure.protocol.ctp.model.REQUEST but everything seems fine inside the AnyNode. I initially thought the problem was with the classpath Weblogic is using but I have tried to make the order of jars inside the classpath the same. What does the :- unable to find FieldDescriptor for 'REQUEST' in ClassDescriptor of AIPCASERQDATA Ignoring NRSOURCE no descriptor was found mean, this looks like it is ignoring the Elements at the xs:any node, which are <REQUEST> <HEADER> <NRSOURCE>String</NRSOURCE> etc many thanks in advance This transmission is confidential and intended solely for the person or organisation to whom it is addressed.
