I'm a newbie to Castor, and an infrequent Java Programmer, so please be
gentle in your response. I'll try to explain the problem that I've had to
the best of my abilities. I've made a change to the XMLClassDescriptorImpl.
It resolves the problem, but since I have very little idea what I'm doing,
I don't know what problems my solution might cause.
The class that I was trying to marshal had 3 levels of inheritance.
Apparently, one of the methods (elements) that has been added to the
allElements array has been overridden more than once and is in allElements
twice. Because it is an inherited method, it is also in the inherited
array. The size of localElements is determined by subtracting the size of
the inherited array from the size of the allElements array. The code
starting at line 776 below causes the localElements array to have (in this
case) one null entry as the last entry in the array because the entry from
allElements is not written to localElements if it is inherited.
For my quick fix, I simply traversed the localElements array and rewrote it
without the null entry. My biggest concern is what problems I may have
caused down the road. Marshalling appears to work fine. This is probably
because the method in question was not a Getter or a Setter.
Any insights into this problem, or my solution to it, would be greatly
appreciated.
localElements = new XMLFieldDescriptor[allElements.length -
inherited.length];
int localIdx = 0;
int localCnt=0;
int localNewIdx=0;
776 for (int i = 0; i < allElements.length; i++) {
XMLFieldDescriptor desc = allElements[i];
boolean isInherited = false;
for (int idx = 0; idx < inherited.length; idx++) {
if (inherited[idx].equals(desc)) {
isInherited = true;
break;
}
}
if (!isInherited) {
localElements[localIdx] = desc;
++localIdx;
}
}
// count non-null entries in localElements
790 for (int j = 0; j < localElements.length; j++) {
if(!(localElements[j]== null)) {
localCnt++;
}
}
// create a new array to replace localElements
XMLFieldDescriptor[]localElementsNew = new
XMLFieldDescriptor[localCnt];
// populate new array with non-null values from localElements
for (int k = 0; k < localElements.length; k++) {
if(!(localElements[k]== null)) {
localElementsNew[localNewIdx] = localElements[k];
localNewIdx++;
}
}
//replace localElements with new array
802 localElements = localElementsNew;
