Description

« Hide

The attached Python SOAP client essentially does:

token = soap.login(jirauser, passwd)
soap.getAllPermissions(token)

This breaks with a cryptic XML parse error:

unknown>:1:497: duplicate attribute

Further investigation reveals that JIRA is generating invalid XML in response to the SOAP query (see attached response.xml). The problem is the duplicated xsi:type attribute, which is duplicated (not allowed in XML):

<getAllPermissionsReturn soapenc:arrayType="ns2:RemotePermission[20]" xsi:type="soapenc:Array" xsi:type="soapenc:Array" ...

BTW: I also get the error when trying to view the response.xml attachment of this ticket in Mozilla Firefox...

I've observe that this bug didn't occur in 3.2.0 but is present in 3.2.2 and 3.2.3.
I tried to mix the plugin of 3.2.0 (rpc-1.5.3) into deployment of 3.2.3 and the bug was still there.
Is there someone who narrow the bug to a specific lib, since it doesn't seems to be inside the plugin ?

We moved from Glue to Axis for the provision of SOAP, which is where it looks like this bug was introduced.

I haven't any further information at this stage.

I've look in the different version of sources, I saw that glue-5.0b2.tar was present in Jira-3.1, but not in Jira-3.2 and above.
So, it is probably more than the switch to axis, since SOAP was working fine in Jira-3.2 but not in 3.2.2 (I didn't tried 3.2.1).

Guys,

This seems to be an Axis bug:

http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS-2100

and seems to be fixed by

http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS-2127

We need to see what version of Axis this has been fixed for and go from there.

Cheers,

Mark C

Guys,

We'll try to get this issue resolved as soon as the next version of Axis comes out that have this fix in it. From the mailing list, it appears that Axis 1.3 will be coming out in early August.

I suspect this will be part of a point release for 3.3

Cheers

Mark C

Attached is a snapshot build of Axis to replace the jars bundled with JIRA. With these, Python clients should work.

Fixed for JIRA 3.3.1. The SOAP client (http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Creating+a+SOAP+Client) now has a src/python directory with sample SOAP and XML-RPC Python clients.
