Attributes in the default namespace? [message #1229172] Wed, 08 January 2014 21:37 Go to next message

I have two XSD documents that together describe a LoginRequest class and a LoginResponse class. There is also a WSDL but that is not relevant to the RESTful service. I have used CXF's wsdl2java.bat to generate my JAXB-annotated Java classes.

As long as I use a namespace prefix, everything works fine. I can both marshal and unmarshal JSON representations of my objects. When I assign the namespace prefix to empty string (to specify the default namespace), marshalling still works but on unmarshal a SAX exception is thrown when parsing attributes:
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; cvc-complex-type.3.2.2: Attribute 'name' is not allowed to appear in element 'UserCredentials'.


Login.xsd:

JSON with namespace prefix (working):
{"achilles.LoginRequest":{"achilles.UserCredentials":{"@name":"username","@password":"password"}}}


JSON without namespace prefix (marshals only):
{"LoginRequest":{"UserCredentials":{"@name":"username","@password":"password"}}}


Am I doing something wrong? How can I use attributes and a default namespace together?

Hi Nate,

Here is what I did to get your example to work:

XML Schemas

I changed the xmlns:xs declaration to be the namespace http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema instead of http://eclipse.org/2001/XMLSchema.


Generated a JAXB Model

I generated a JAXB model from the Login.xsd using the all the defaults:

xjc Login.xsd


Demo Code

Here is some code to read/write the JSON:

package org.eclipse.schemas.api.achilles.v1;

import java.io.File;
import java.util.*;
import javax.xml.bind.*;
import org.eclipse.persistence.jaxb.JAXBContextProperties;

public class Demo {

	public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
		Map<String, Object> properties = new HashMap<String, Object>(2);
		properties.put(JAXBContextProperties.MEDIA_TYPE, "application/json");
		properties.put(JAXBContextProperties.JSON_ATTRIBUTE_PREFIX, "@");
		JAXBContext jc = JAXBContext.newInstance("org.eclipse.schemas.api.achilles.v1", ObjectFactory.class.getClassLoader(), properties);
		
		Unmarshaller unmarshaller = jc.createUnmarshaller();
		File json = new File("src/org/eclipse/schemas/api/achilles/v1/input.json");
		LoginRequest loginRequest = (LoginRequest) unmarshaller.unmarshal(json);
		
		Marshaller marshaller = jc.createMarshaller();
		marshaller.setProperty(Marshaller.JAXB_FORMATTED_OUTPUT, true);
		marshaller.marshal(loginRequest, System.out);
	}

}


Input/Output

Here is the JSON document I used for this example:
{
   "LoginRequest" : {
      "UserCredentials" : {
         "@name" : "username",
         "@password" : "password"
      }
   }
}

Thanks, Blaise. It seems I left out a crucial detail, however: I have schema validation enabled and the exception that I'm seeing stems from
com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.validation.ValidatorHandlerImpl


First, I load my XSDs:
private Schema getSchema(final String schemaPath, final String[] schemaNames) throws SAXException
{
	final SchemaFactory sf = new XMLSchemaFactory();
	sf.setFeature(Constants.XERCES_FEATURE_PREFIX + Constants.NAMESPACE_GROWTH_FEATURE, true);
	sf.setProperty(XMLSchemaLoader.ENTITY_RESOLVER, new XMLEntityResolver()
	{
		@Override
		public XMLInputSource resolveEntity(XMLResourceIdentifier resourceIdentifier)
				throws XNIException, IOException
		{
			return new XMLInputSource(null, resourceIdentifier.getLiteralSystemId(), resourceIdentifier
					.getLiteralSystemId(), getClass().getResourceAsStream(
					schemaPath + "/" + resourceIdentifier.getLiteralSystemId()), null);
		}
	});

	final StreamSource[] sources = new StreamSource[schemaNames.length];
	for (int i = 0; i < schemaNames.length; i++)
		sources[i] = new StreamSource(getClass().getResourceAsStream(
				schemaPath + "/" + schemaNames[i]), schemaNames[i]);

	return sf.newSchema(sources);
}


And then I set the schema and namespace map on my Unmarshaller:
unmarshaller.setSchema(schema);
unmarshaller.setProperty(MarshallerProperties.NAMESPACE_PREFIX_MAPPER, namespaceMap)


The namespace map includes an entry mapping from the namespace
"http://eclipse.org/schemas/api/achilles/v1.0"
to the prefix
""


And then when I unmarshal a document with an empty namespace prefix (as in my OP), an exception is thrown from the XMLSchemaValidator:
Caused by: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; cvc-complex-type.3.2.2: Attribute 'name' is not allowed to appear in element 'UserCredentials'.

The W3C URL is incorrect in the XML documents due to a constraint of this forum combined with my low post count.

Another developer on my team has discovered that this problem is related to declaring attributeFormDefault=\"qualified\", however the XML and JSON serializers behave in opposite ways.

Here is the output:
xml (prefixed:qualified) passed
xml (prefixed:unqualified) failed
xml (default:qualified) failed
xml (default:unqualified) passed
json (prefixed:qualified) failed
json (prefixed:unqualified) passed
json (default:qualified) passed
json (default:unqualified) failed


So what this is saying is that when unmarshalling JSON, if there is a default namespace and the attributeFormDefault="qualified", then there is no error. In this case, however, XML unmarshalling will fail. Basically it seems like XML and JSON are handled inconsistently in this case.

This seems like an inconsistency with MOXy -- do you think that's the case?

Bump -- I'd really like to use a default namespace at the same time as schema validation. Is this possible? Is something wrong with my example?
