Description

WebDAV uses XmlRequestEntity for serializing XML, which in turn uses org.apache.jackrabbit.commons.xml.SerializingContentHandler to work around the JDK 1.4 problem (serializing in absence of explicit namespace declarations).

The following test fails under JDK 1.4, but passed with newer JDKs:

public void testXmlSerialization() throws ParserConfigurationException, IOException, SAXException

{ DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance(); dbf.setNamespaceAware(true); DocumentBuilder db = dbf.newDocumentBuilder(); Document doc = db.newDocument(); doc.appendChild(doc.createElementNS("DAV:", "propfind")); XmlRequestEntity xmlent = new XmlRequestEntity(doc); ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream(); xmlent.writeRequest(bos); Document doc2 = db.parse(new ByteArrayInputStream(bos.toByteArray())); Element docelem = doc2.getDocumentElement(); assertEquals("DAV:", docelem.getNamespaceURI()); }
