Description Karen Butzke

2010-12-09 14:38:15 EST

1.An XmlType class must have a no-arg constructor or a factoryMethod defined. no-arg constructor can be public, protected, or private

2. @XmlType factoryMethod must be a static zero-arg method found in the factoryClass. If the factoryClass is not specified, it is assumed to be the XmlType's class.

As far as I can tell these validation messages are the same for MOXy as for generic JAXB.

> no-arg constructor can be public, protected, or private

I might be wrong about this, the XmlType javadocs say it needs to be public, but it seems like public, protected or private are supported.

I have added the following schema-based validation :

3. if name is absent (""), namespace cannot be different from package namespace
4. if name is not absent (""), type must be from schema associated with this package

from bug 345317:

Validation and content assist are still needed for XmlType (factoryClass,
factoryMethod, and propOrder)

When used on an enum, factoryMethod(), factoryClass(), and propOrder() must be ignored (should be warning at least)

Comment 6 Paul Fullbright

Added propOrder validation and content assist for 3.1 M3.

This has been fixed in 3.1 M3.

Comment 8 Paul Fullbright

Added validation for:
- public or protected (not private) zero-arg constructor or the default constructor
- factory method must be specified when factory class is specified

for 3.1 RC1.


Tracking further validation for factoryClass/factoryMethod in bug 363617 so that this bug can be closed for 3.1.
