Re: CXF backwards compatibility of datatypes

[rouble <r....@gmail.com>]

FYI, The following worked for me in the service's spring xml configuration.

    <jaxws:endpoint id="foo" address="/foo">
        <jaxws:implementor>
            <ref bean="fooImpl" />
        </jaxws:implementor>
        <jaxws:properties>
            <entry key="set-jaxb-validation-event-handler"
value="false" /> <!-- needed for backwards compatibilty -->
        </jaxws:properties>
    </jaxws:endpoint>

However, it does make me wonder if this should be the default behavior of cxf.
