XmlObject.xmlText(XmlOptions) outputs xsi:nil="true" where schema definition is
minOccurs="0" and default value for nillable="false"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: XMLBEANS-220
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XMLBEANS-220
Project: XMLBeans
Type: Bug
Components: XmlObject
Versions: Version 2
Environment: Windows XP, JDK 1.4.2_05
Reporter: James Webster
We have defined a type in the schema as...
<xsd:complexType name="MyType">
<xsd:element name="mandatoryElement" type="xsd:string"/>
<xsd:element name="optionalElement" minOccurs="0" type="xsd:string"/>
</xsd:complexType>
According to the XML Schema specification, false is the default value for the
optional 'nillable' attribute on xsd:element. So the 'optionalElement' element
is nillable='false'.
We instantiate an instance of the MyType class, set the mandatory element and
get the value of xmlText()...
MyType type = MyType.Factory.newInstance();
type.setMandatoryElement("someValue");
String xmlText = type.xmlText();
The value of xmlText generated by XMLBeans v2.0 is...
<MyType>
<mandatoryElement>someValue</mandatoryElement>
<optionalElement xsi:nil="true"/>
</MyType>
BUT, we would expect (given that optionalElement is NOT nillable) to see the
following...
<MyType>
<mandatoryElement>someValue</mandatoryElement>
</MyType>
Our investigations into the XMLBeans API suggests that it is not possible (via
XmlOptions, etc) to suppress the xsi: attributes, so we believe this may be a
bug? We are at no point explicitly setting the optionalElement to null.
