[jira] [Comment Edited] (AXIOM-483)
OMElementImpl.getChildrenWithName() is too restrictive and not compatible
with 1.2.x
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIOM-483?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15299941#comment-15299941 ]

Sure.
I meant that there might be many 1.2.x users that rely on the fact that passing an empty namespace e.g.
OMElementImpl.getChildrenWithName(new QName("","someLocalName"))
would mean that this will match children with "someLocalName" located in any namespace.
In other words, passing an empty namespace is interpreted as a wildcard i.e. any namespace.That's not the case in 1.3.x.Is that intentionally done?

> In 1.2.x org.apache.axiom.om.impl.llom.OMElementImpl.getChildrenWithName() contains the following comment:
> // The getChidrenWithName method used to tolerate an empty namespace
> // and interpret that as getting any element that matched the local
> // name. There are custmers of axiom that have hard-coded dependencies
> // on this semantic.
> // The following code falls back to this legacy behavior only if
> // (a) elementQName has no namespace, (b) the new iterator finds no elements
> // and (c) there are children.
> This seems to be not the case in 1.3.0 and the method is now restrictive.The current behavior is correct but the problem is that it's not backward compatible and will lead to many issues.
