Bug 330679

Description Blaise Doughan 2010-11-19 11:28:27 EST

When I use the following class:

import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlRootElement;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlSchemaType;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlValue;

@XmlRootElement
public class Foo {

    private byte[] bytes;

    @XmlValue
    //@XmlSchemaType(name = "hexBinary")
    public byte[] getBytes() {
        return bytes;
    }

    public void setBytes(byte[] bytes) {
        this.bytes = bytes;
    }

}

With the following demo code:

import javax.xml.bind.JAXBContext;
import javax.xml.bind.Unmarshaller;
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder;
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory;
import javax.xml.transform.dom.DOMSource;

import org.w3c.dom.Document;
import org.w3c.dom.Element;

public class Demo {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
        DocumentBuilder db = dbf.newDocumentBuilder();
        Document document = db.newDocument();
        Element element = document.createElement("foo"); element.setTextContent("YTM0NZomIzI2OTsmIzM0NTueYQ==");

        JAXBContext jc = JAXBContext.newInstance(Foo.class);
        Unmarshaller unmarshaller = jc.createUnmarshaller();
        Foo foo = (Foo) unmarshaller.unmarshal(new DOMSource(element));
        System.out.println(foo.getBytes().length);
        jc.createMarshaller().marshal(foo, System.out);
    }
}

I get the following Exception:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
	at forum97.Demo.main(Demo.java:23)


Meaning somehow the byte[] is not being populated.
