Moxy is not honoring "type" attribute in xml-element tag in EclipseLink 2.4.2 [message #1086837] Wed, 14 August 2013 16:15 Go to next message

Hello,

We have been using EclipseLink Moxy 2.3.x successfully to generate XML out of JPA entities. After recently moving to EclipseLink 2.4.2, we noticed that Moxy no longer honors the "type" attribute specified in the external mapping document.

We use interfaces to hide JPA entities from Data access layer. So, in some cases our JPA entities implement multiple interfaces, and thats what seem to be breaking in 2.4.2, even though this worked in 2.3.x.

Consider an entity class:

@Table(name="project")
public class ProjectEO implements Project
{

Set<ProjectSetting> m_settings;

...
}

@Table(name="project_setting")
public class ProjectSettingEO implements Setting, Updateable
{
...
}

and XML configuration


<java-types>
<java-type name="ProjectEO" xml-accessor-type="FIELD">
<xml-root-element />
<java-attributes>
<xml-element java-attribute="m_projectSettings"
type="ProjectSettingEO"
container-type="java.util.HashSet" xml-path="settings/ProjectSettingEO" />
...
</java-type>

<java-type name="ProjectSettingEO" xml-accessor-type="FIELD" super-type="">
<xml-root-element />
<java-attributes>
<xml-transient java-attribute="_persistence_project_vh" />
<xml-inverse-reference java-attribute="m_project"
type="entity.ProjectEO" mapped-by="m_projectSettings"/>
</java-attributes>
</java-type>
...

In 2.4.2, I get the following error:

javax.xml.bind.JAXBException:
Exception Description: The java interface entity.Setting can not be mapped by JAXB as it has multiple mappable parent interfaces. Multiple inheritence is not supported

Hello,

This appears to be a bug. I have opened the following issue to track it:
- http://bugs.eclipse.org/415254

When I created an example based on your post:
- https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/attachment.cgi?id=234501

I get the following exception instead of the one you received:
Exception in thread "main" javax.xml.bind.JAXBException: 
Exception Description: Class [] not found.
 - with linked exception:

Hello,

The exception I was getting was due to an invalid line in the metadata from your post. When I change:
<java-type name="ProjectSettingEO" xml-accessor-type="FIELD" super-type="">


To the following everything works correctly.
<java-type name="ProjectSettingEO" xml-accessor-type="FIELD">


Here is a link to the corrected example.

Blaise,

Sorry for the late reply. The issue happens only when an interface extends more than one interface. I wasn't clear on this in my earlier post. Please use the attached zip file to reproduce the issue.

Thanks,
Rajan

As a workaround you could change your mapping metadata to look like the folllowing:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xml-bindings xmlns="http://www.eclipse.org/eclipselink/xsds/persistence/oxm"
	package-name="entity">
	<java-types>
	    <java-type name="Project" super-type="java.lang.Object"/>
	    <java-type name="ProjectSetting" super-type="java.lang.Object"/>
		<java-type name="ProjectEO" xml-accessor-type="FIELD" super-type="java.lang.Object">
			<xml-root-element />
			<java-attributes>
				<xml-element java-attribute="m_projectSettings" type="entity.ProjectSettingEO"
					container-type="java.util.HashSet" xml-path="settings/ProjectSettingEO" />
			</java-attributes>
		</java-type>
		<java-type name="ProjectSettingEO" xml-accessor-type="FIELD" super-type="java.lang.Object">
			<xml-root-element />
			<java-attributes>
				<xml-transient java-attribute="_persistence_project_vh" />
				<xml-inverse-reference java-attribute="m_project"
					type="entity.ProjectEO" mapped-by="m_projectSettings" />
			</java-attributes>
		</java-type>
	</java-types>
</xml-bindings>
