Bug 367795

Description Blaise Doughan 2012-01-03 16:12:53 EST

Issue sent in via email:

In the RI, the output element has the value of the inner text.  In MOXy I get a rather strange output:

<top><middle><text()>Some Value</text()></middle></top>

When I’m expecting

<top><middle>Some Value</middle></top>

In this case I have the following three classes:

@XmlRootElement
public class Top {

  @XmlElement
  public Middle middle;

  public String toString() {
    return "Top(" + middle + ")";
  }

}

public class Middle {

  @XmlValue
  public Bottom bottom;

  public String toString() {
    return "Middle(" + bottom + ")";
  }

}

public class Bottom {

  @XmlValue
  public String value;

  public String toString() {
    return "Bottom(" + value + ")";
  }

}

And the following testing harness:

    JAXBContext c = JAXBContext.newInstance(Top.class);
    System.err.println(c.getClass());
    Marshaller m = c.createMarshaller();

    Top t = new Top();
    t.middle = new Middle();
    t.middle.bottom = new Bottom();
    t.middle.bottom.value = "Some Value";

    FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream("c:\\temp\\t.xml");
    m.marshal(t, out);
    out.close();

    Unmarshaller u = c.createUnmarshaller();
    Top tu = (Top) u.unmarshal(new File("c:\\temp\\t.xml"));
    System.err.println(tu);
