Re: Parsing DOM-Node to specific XMLBean delivers always the root-node twice

[Radu Preotiuc-Pietro <ra...@bea.com>]

I have been meaning to answer this...

XmlOptions.SET_SAVE_INNER inside the parse() method won't help of
course, because it is a "SAVE" option. It doesn't even get looked at for
parse.

What you need to make sure is that the "node" parameter looks like:

<subjectConfirmation></subjectConfirmation>
(or maybe
<xml-fragment><subjectConfirmation></subjectConfirmation></xml-fragment>)

What is probably happening in your case is that "node" looks like:
<subject>
               <subjectConfirmation>

So when you call assertionBean.setSubject() you get one <subject>
element inserted by the setter and one from your parsed document, for a
total of two.

To understand why that is the case, consider an element <stringElem> of
type "xs:string". In order to set it you would call:

xmlObject.setStringElem("a string");

and not

xmlObject.setStringElem(stringXmlElement);

You supply just the "content" and XmlBeans inserts the element, based on
what setter you called (there could be of course many setters with the
same type as parameter, so you would get different element names for the
same input based on where you set it).

Same thing with complex types, you need to provide the content and the
element name is set automatically for you.

How does <xml-fragment> fit it? Well, assume that your content is

<subjectConfirmation/>
<subjectCancellation/>

If you saved it like that, it would not be well-formed XML, so then
<xml-fragment> is added as root. When parsing, XMLBeans "knows" that
<xml-fragment> is to be ignored (this element is "special" to XMLBeans)
and it won't show up in the final document.
