Andreas Veithen commented on WSCOMMONS-513:
-------------------------------------------
The right behavior should be to throw an exception, i.e. DOOM should be
modified to behave in the same way as LLOM.
Rationale: Assume that a node would be allowed to have a sibling without having
a parent. The siblings can only be serialized (together) if they are added to a
document. Since adding a node to document necessarily removes the existing
sibling relationship, it doesn't make sense to allow the creation of the
sibling relationship in the first place.
> Behavior of insertSiblingAfter and insertSiblingBefore is not well defined
> for orphan nodes

> Project: WS-Commons
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: AXIOM
> Affects Versions: Axiom 1.2.8
> Reporter: Andreas Veithen
> Assignee: Andreas Veithen
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: Axiom 1.2.9
>
>
> The behavior of OMNode#insertSiblingAfter and OMNode#insertSiblingBefore is
> not well defined if the node has no parent:
> - LLOM: throws OMException ("Parent can not be null").
> - DOOM in Axiom < 1.2.8: silently accepts the call.
> - DOOM in Axiom 1.2.8: throws NPE (see AXIS2-4514).
> The behavior needs to be clearly specified and made consistent between LLOM
> and DOOM.
