Error using AxiomSoapMessageFactory with comments in request [SWS-347]

[gregturn]

Stephen Duncan Jr opened SWS-347 and commented

While attempting to test my webservice using Soap UI, I sent a request that included XML comments, and I got the following error:

org.apache.axiom.om.impl.llom.OMCommentImpl cannot be cast to org.apache.axiom.om.OMText

Affects: 1.5

Could you supply the full stack trace?

As you might guess, this happens when the comment is inside an expected text node; it did not occur when I placed a comment between two elements. Here is the stack trace:

This is actually a bug in Axiom, not Spring-WS. Calling getTextCharacters() on a comment node is perfectly legal, according to the XMLStreamReader spec (https://java.sun.com/webservices/docs/1.5/api/javax/xml/stream/XMLStreamReader.html).

You can create an Axiom issue here: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WSCOMMONS.
