Sanjin Tulac commented on CXF-7186:
-----------------------------------
We're using Aegis primarily for historical reasons - development of CodeObjects
"model-driven" application-development platform started back in 2006 when CXF
was XFire and (AFAIK) JAXB was not yet a viable option. We have customized
serialization of SDO-based data, so moving to JAXB data binding would require
unknown amount of work and has significant risks associated with it.
But it does seem at this point as if we'd be better off switching to JAXB
databinding, especially for this particular use case, where we need to
implement against 3rd party XML schema.
> Aegis DataBinding ignores JAXB annotations on a field

> Key: CXF-7186
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-7186
> Project: CXF
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Aegis Databinding
> Affects Versions: 2.7.18, 3.1.9, 3.0.12
> Reporter: Sanjin Tulac
> Attachments: CXF Aegis Data Binding.png, CXF-7186.patch

>
> I've been trying to use CXF with Aegis DataBinding to host a web service that
> needs to be called by a 3rd party, using 3rd party's XML schema.
> It turns out that 3rd party XML schema has a naming convention that element
> names start with upper case. wsdl2java correctly placed JAXB XMLElement
> annotations on the fields in the generated POJOs, But at run-time, Aegis
> DataBinding ignores these JAXB annotations on the fields, which causes the
> XML from 3rd party to be ignored, instead of converted to the generated POJOs.
> I've identified the culprit to be
> org.apache.cxf.aegist.type.AnnotatedTypeInfo class, whose method createQName
> only looks for annotations on the getter methods, but ignores annotations on
> fields.
> I can see that this defect stems from the attempt to support both Aegis and
> JAXB annotations: former expect annotations on the getter methods, but latter
> however, even though quite similar, expect annotations on the field.
