Major Description
CXF-6484 states that,
>> URL-encoded content ID for MTOM attachments causes problems with web service clients. This is effectively a regression on:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-2669
For example, If the namespace is "https://cxf.apache.org/" for the service endpoint, then the content id is now:
5726d366-df25-4945-9f3b-3003a2ae8a70-3@http%3A%2F%2Fcxf.apache.org%2F
It was previously:
5726d366-df25-4945-9f3b-3003a2ae8a70-3@cxf.apache.org
Hence,
Actual results:
Content Id contains the full namespace (as URL) which is URL encoded: 5726d366-df25-4945-9f3b-3003a2ae8a70-3@http%3A%2F%2Fcxf.apache.org%2F
Expected results:
Content id does not require encoding and only contains hostname: 5726d366-df25-4945-9f3b-3003a2ae8a70-3@cxf.apache.org
With the attached reproducer, here's what the results looks like,
Actual Result - href="cid:0842d204-23ec-4b6f-955b-0e38a4c2f35a-1@urn%3Awsc.td.com%2Fcis%2F2010%2F01%2F19
Expected Result -
href="cid:0842d204-23ec-4b6f-955b-0e38a4c2f35a-1@urn:Awsc.td.com/cis/2010/01/19
The difference here compared to the fix for CXF-6484, is that a non-url encoded href using namespace with 'urn:' for the attachments is used.
For example, like the below in the @WebService class,
@WebService(targetNamespace = "urn:wsc.td.com/cis/2010/01/19")
To me, it seems that the fix for CXF-6484 does not work for non-url encoded href.
I.e After the fix of CXF-6484,
Actual Result - href="cid:0842d204-23ec-4b6f-955b-0e38a4c2f35a-1@urn%3Awsc.td.com%2Fcis%2F2010%2F01%2F19
Expected Result -
href="cid:0842d204-23ec-4b6f-955b-0e38a4c2f35a-1@urn:Awsc.td.com/cis/2010/01/19
It looks like CXF's AttachmentSerializer is not able to serialize the forward slashes
or the AttachmentUtil needs to be changed.
I am not sure if the proper urn: namespaces should be of format, i.e urn:com.namespace.someResource or it can be also like, urn:com/namespace/someResource.
Can we make CXF to interpret and display the href in the Content-Id with non-url namespace as cid:0842d204-23ec-4b6f-955b-0e38a4c2f35a-1@urn:Awsc.td.com/cis/2010/01/19 ?
instead of
href="cid:0842d204-23ec-4b6f-955b-0e38a4c2f35a-1@urn%3Awsc.td.com%2Fcis%2F2010%2F01%2F19
