Hi all,

I was getting a big fat null pointer exception when processing the following Body of a SOAP response (sent by HP's Select Federation):

   <S:Body xmlns:wsu="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-utility-1.0.xsd" wsu:Id="msgBody">

      <S:Fault>

         <faultcode>S:Server</faultcode>

         <faultstring>security verification failure</faultstring>

      </S:Fault>

   </S:Body>

It didn't like faultcode or faultstring - I assume because they have no explicit NS prefix.  So in order to get through this problem, I made a small change to a class in XMLTooling.   I have no idea of the implications of this, or whether there is a better way.  Can someone help me out?

in the java-xmltooling class org.opensaml.xml.schema.impl.XSQNameImpl

OLD:

    /** {@inheritDoc} */

    public void setValue(QName newValue) {

        value = prepareForAssignment(value, newValue);

        addNamespace(new Namespace(value.getNamespaceURI(), value.getPrefix()));

    }

NEW:

    /** {@inheritDoc} */

    public void setValue(QName newValue) {

        // Asa Hardcastle added on October 11, 2007

        if(newValue.getPrefix().trim().length()!=0){

            value = prepareForAssignment(value, newValue);

            addNamespace(new Namespace(value.getNamespaceURI(), value.getPrefix()));

        }

    }

thanks,

asa
