Hi James, You should also point out that the authors of the XML Security Suite agreed it was a bug in their code and fixed it.
I refuse to accept work-arounds for other software bugs as bug fixes. I know you (and I'm sure there are others) disagree. However, as you recall correctly, many of the committers disagreed with applying this "fix". Yes, I will point out that you shouldn't have called it a bug!! ;-) Sanjiva. ----- Original Message ----- From: "James M Snell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, January 27, 2002 4:19 AM Subject: Re: Book: Programming Web Service with SOAP and bug in Apache 2.2 > When I first came across this problem, there was some discussion as to > whether or not it really was a bug in Apache SOAP as it actually has to do > with a problem in the way the XML Security Suite creates the DOM objects > serialized by Apache SOAP (it improperly "declares" namespaces using > setAttribute(...) rather than setAttributeNS(...) ...).
