Description

When I try to build woden 1.0M9 with Java7, the unit test QNameDeserializeTest.testGoodDeserializeQNameWithoutPrefix() fails.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Test set: javax.xml.namespace.QNameDeserializeTest
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tests run: 1, Failures: 1, Errors: 0, Skipped: 0, Time elapsed: 0.038 sec <<< FAILURE!
testGoodDeserializeQNameWithoutPrefix(javax.xml.namespace.QNameDeserializeTest) Time elapsed: 0.017 sec <<< FAILURE!
junit.framework.AssertionFailedError: Expected a null 'prefix' to be initialized to the empty string "".
at junit.framework.Assert.fail(Assert.java:47)
at junit.framework.Assert.assertTrue(Assert.java:20)
at javax.xml.namespace.QNameDeserializeTest.testGoodDeserializeQNameWithoutPrefix(QNameDeserializeTest.java:65)

This is because the test uses serialized form of QName, that was created in Java 6 environment. But Java 7 serialized form is different.

Failure of this test means, that integration of two applications running in different Java environments is broken. One application is unable to use serialized QNames, received from another application.
