          Details

          • Salesforce Case Reference:
          • Workaround Exists:
            Yes
          • Workaround Description:
            Either include the required compat jars (icefaces-ee-compat.jar, commons-*.jar) or remove the compat namespace from the page.

            Description

            When declaring the ICEfaces compat component namespace in the xhtml page but not including the required Jar files the following error is thrown in EE 3.3.0 (The same setup is not an issue with EE 3.2.0):

                The customer's test page works fine if it is simply added to showcase and run in that application. Proper behaviour on both Tomcat 7 and WebSphere 7. Building and deploying their whole .war file, it fails on both WebSphere 7 and Tomcat 7. So it's not specific to WebSphere.

                It's a very simple app and once it started failing on Tomcat, it was a bit quicker and easier to track down. They declare these namespaces:

                <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
      xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
      xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
      xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
      xmlns:icecore="http://www.icefaces.org/icefaces/core"
      xmlns:ace="http://www.icefaces.org/icefaces/components"
      xmlns:ice="http://www.icesoft.com/icefaces/component">

                And these libraries:

                icefaces-ee-ace.jar
icefaces-ee-ext.jar
icefaces-ee.jar
javax.faces.jar

                The difference is the compat namespace. Turns out that they don't actually use compat or include the necessary libraries but they have it declared and that's what's causing the problem. It doesn't happen in showcase because compat is declared AND the libraries are present.

                To "fix" it, they can do 1 of two things. Either add the following libs to their .war file:

                commons-logging.jar
icefaces-ee-compat.jar

                or just remove the unused namespace declaration:

                xmlns:ice="http://www.icesoft.com/icefaces/component"

                and the problem goes away.

                In DOMDocumentSerializer.serializeElement method there is the following: 

                final String namespaceURI = a.getNamespaceURI();
if (namespaceURI != null && namespaceURI.equals("http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/")) {
    String attrPrefix = a.getLocalName();
    String attrNamespace = a.getNodeValue();
    if (attrPrefix == "xmlns" || attrPrefix.equals("xmlns")) {
        attrPrefix = "";
    }
    _namespaceScopeContext.declarePrefix(attrPrefix, attrNamespace);
} else {
    if (attributesSize == _attributes.length) {
        final Node[] attributes = new Node[attributesSize * 3 / 2 + 1];
        System.arraycopy(_attributes, 0, attributes, 0, attributesSize);
        _attributes = attributes;
    }
    _attributes[attributesSize++] = a;
    
    String attrNamespaceURI = a.getNamespaceURI();
    String attrPrefix = a.getPrefix();
    if (attrPrefix != null && !_namespaceScopeContext.getNamespaceURI(attrPrefix).equals(attrNamespaceURI)) {
        _namespaceScopeContext.declarePrefix(attrPrefix, attrNamespaceURI);
    }
}

                It gets the namespaceURI of the current attribute then checks to see if it is null. If it is null, it falls through to the else block. At the end of the block it again gets the namespaceURI for the attribute but there is no check for null. Instead, it checks:

                attrPrefix != null && !_namespaceScopeContext.getNamespaceURI(attrPrefix).equals(attrNamespaceURI)

                So if the prefix is null, nothing happens. But if the prefix is non-null AND the namespaceURI for the prefix doesn't match the attribute namespaceURI it proceeds to call declarePrefix. However, if the namespace for the prefix is non-null AND the attribute namespace IS null, this condition will pass. So the code should probably just have an extra check for null:

                attrPrefix != null && attrNamespaceURI != null && !_namespaceScopeContext.getNamespaceURI(attrPrefix).equals(attrNamespaceURI)

                Attaching test case that shows the issue. It only occurs with 3.3 EE libraries. 3.3 open source libraries are fine.

                Further investigation shows that the root cause of the problem was related to the method we used to get a "clean" clone of the older DOM. Replacing the serialization algorithm in DOMResponseWriter with the import/set id algorithm that we currently use in the open source version (as per ICE-9398) solves the problem. As this change has already been applied to both icefaces3/trunk and icefaces-ee/tags/icefaces-ee-3.3.0.GA_P01 I am marking as fixed. Testing using the libraries on the current P01 tag shows that the libraries do not show the problem when run with the test case.
