I'm upgrading a project to jaxb 2.2.7 from version 1.x.
I've got the app working some of the time, but on some responses I see this:
java.lang.RuntimeException: javax.xml.bind.MarshalException
- with linked exception:
[com.sun.istack.SAXException2: Instance of "com.mycompany.global.er.decoupling.binding.response.PricePointType$BalanceImpactRates$BalanceImpactRate"
is substituting "java.lang.Object", but
"com.mycompany.global.er.decoupling.binding.response.PricePointType$BalanceImpactRates$BalanceImpactRate"
is bound to an anonymous type.]
This worked fine in jaxb 1.0. I've no idea what the problem could be.
Here's an extract from the xsd (which I can't change, since clients are using it):
<xs:complexType name="price-pointType">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="id" type="xs:string" />
.........
<xs:element name="duration" type="durationType" />
<xs:element name="order" type="xs:int" />
<xs:element name="min-sub-period" type="xs:int" />
<xs:element name="balance-impacts" minOccurs="0">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="balance-impact" type="charging-resourceType"
minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" />
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
<xs:element name="balance-impact-rates" minOccurs="0">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="balance-impact-rate" minOccurs="0"
maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="rate" type="xs:double" />
</xs:sequence>
<xs:attribute name="charging-resource-code" type="xs:string"
use="required" />
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
Any suggestions?
The problem turned out to be the elaborate nesting of anonymous complex types.
By separating them out as below, the problem went away. And as an added bonus, I got more re-usable code.
<xs:complexType name="balanceImpactRate">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="rate" type="xs:double" />
</xs:sequence>
<xs:attribute name="charging-resource-code" type="xs:string"
use="required" />
</xs:complexType>
<xs:complexType name="balanceImpactRates" >
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="balance-impact-rate" type="balanceImpactRate" minOccurs="0"
maxOccurs="unbounded">
</xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
