Serialisation issue between 4.2.1 client and 4.3 server

[objectiser]

Hi

I have just updated my server environment to be JBossAS 4.2.2.GA and JBossESB 4.3.GA, but my client remained JBossESB 4.2.1GA.

My client sends a message to an ESB service specifying a JMSEpr replyTo, specifying a temporary response queue.

Normally when it receives a response message, it calls org.jboss.soa.esb.util.Util.deserialize() to retrieve the ESB Message object.

However after the upgrade, this call throws the following exception:

java.io.IOException: Util.deserialize caught UnmarshalException
at org.jboss.soa.esb.util.Util.deserialize(Util.java:231)
......
Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.dom.DeferredTextImpl
at org.jboss.internal.soa.esb.message.format.xml.BodyImpl.fromXML(BodyImpl.java:249)
......

Also noticed on the server console:

14:08:32,054 WARN [JMSEpr$AcknowledgeMode] ' 1' is invalid : .Will use default
'AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE

This appears to be a bug in the 4.2.1 codebase as the parsing is expecting a CDATA section in the XML. It should have been using a Text element instead as the parsing code cannot force the text to be CDATA.

Is there any reason why you are still using the 4.2.1 codebase on the client? If so then you will need to edit the serialisation and replace all references to CDATASection with Text.

No problem - I have updated to 4.3 on the client and it works fine.

Just reporting it so that you would be aware of the issue.
