Hi Pavel,

It's good to keep improving this feature by discussing :)

For the marshal part, I'd like to see your solution which use the XmlStreamWriter filtering :)

We can add the option in the JAXBDataFormat to turn on or turn off the filtering.

I didn't found the patch of test in your last mail.
Can you submit the patch into the JIRA[1]?

Hi again,

I did look at the implementation and I have some thoughts and comments.

* This addresses how Camel-JAXB reads XML, which is good. But another aspect is how Camel-JAXB produces XML. E.g. in the case I was hitting, camel/jaxb was marshalling "bad" data that could not be unmarshalled on the other end of the wire.
  So I think filtering for the marshalled content needs to be here too.

* Yet whole filtering thing needs to be optional. E.g. XML1.1 does not have that restriction, so I would do some sort of config-driven on/off switch. Camel just does not have enough knowledge about intended payload to make the informed decision.

* By default this option should be off for backward compatibility. Otherwise there is a chance of unexpected side effects for those who upgrade.

* Would be nice for camel to log the fact of replacement. Silent body modification may be frustrating to users, and add pain to troubleshooting. - BTW this is the reason why I would go for XmlStreamReader/XmlStreamWriter filtering. It would give mostly the same effect, but in contrast to plain Reader, Xml* classes do know some context. And thus may log meaningful [somewhat] messages.



Down to code level, I'm attaching patch with a test for JaxbFilterReader.


* I'm not sure the filtering goes exactly per spec referred (http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-xml-20040204/#NT-Char).
E.g. CR/LF/Tab are filtered out, although these should not be.

Also, the spec  mentions 2 slightly different things.

1. Character range. Chars not in that range are not valid for XML 1.0.
2. Discouraged characters (see the "Note:" section). Additional restrictions on top of #1.

The test assumes #1. (and I'm having hard times to interpret implications of "discouraged").

* Test indicates end-of-stream problem with no-args read(). And I believe there is no need to override no-args read() at all, as it delegates to read(char[], int, int).

* I believe there is also an problem in 3-args read(), "len - off" part. I would expect "len" here. Test indicates that issue - unless I missed something and set incorrect expectations.


Hope this makes sense.

    Hi Willem,

    I'm looking into it. It could take some time due to holidays I have,
    but I'll come back with feedback as soon as I have it.

        I committed the patch for CAMEL-2330, You can find the
        JaxbFilterReader code here[1].
        Please check out last Apache Camel 2.2-SNAPSHOT to verify it.

            I just filled a JIRA[1] for adding an out of box support in
            camel-jaxb.
            So you don't need to use covertTo() DSL any more.
