Hi

So an element like this

<xacml-context:AttributeValue>
           <Element xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
                xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
                xsi:type="xs:string">test</Element>
                https://192.168.1.100:1883/wsrf/services/xacml/TestService2
 </xacml-context:AttributeValue>

Is retrived 

List<XMLObject> unKnown = attributeValue
                .getUnknownXMLObjects();
            if (unKnown.size() > 0) {
            for (XMLObject valueUnKnown : unKnown) {
                XSString string = (XSString) valueUnKnown;

                log.info("Value unknown " + string.getValue());
            }
            }

Here I sorf of know that it's a string, just for testing.

Also

2008/6/5 Chad La Joie <>:

The library does not support mixed content.  So you use either one or the other methods to set what you want.  Either a string or XML conent.

Ok, CDATA or any XML Element. So how should the API be used? I see two
relevant methods: setValue() which allows a string and another
getUnknownXMLObjects(). It is expected that these two methods be used to set
Attribute Value?

No, the schema says it can be a string or an XML element.

Hi,
 Thanks. This API allows only string to be set as value of

attribute. But

really the attribute value can be any Java object that is

serializable,

right?  Rachana

Hi Rachana,

I see that my guide is wrong on that point. I made a

attribute value like it

done in saml, but in saml the attribute value is defined like this

<element name="AttributeValue" type="anyType" nillable="true"/>

But in xacml like this
<xs:element name="AttributeValue" type="xacml-context:AttributeVa lueType"/>
<xs:complexType name="AttributeValueType" mixed="true">
 <xs:sequence>
 <xs:any namespace="##any" processContents="lax" minOccurs="0"
 maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
 </xs:sequence>
 <xs:anyAttribute namespace="##any" processContents="lax"/>
 </xs:complexType>

So the correct way of creating a attribute value is like this

AttributeValueTypeImplBuilder attributeValueBuilder =
(AttributeValueTypeImplBuilder) builderFactory
       .getBuilder(AttributeValueType.DEFAULT_ELEMENT_NAME);

   AttributeValueType actionAttributeValue = attributeValueBuilder
       .buildObject();

   actionAttributeValue.setValue(actionString);

Then the output is correct

 <xacml-context:Attribute AttributeId="urn:action" Issuer="issuer">
       

<xacml-context:AttributeValue>action</xacml-context:AttributeValue>

     </xacml-context:Attribute>
