Doc Text:
Method findAllElementsByTagNameNS in cxf/trunk/api/src/main/java/org/apache/cxf/helpers/DOMUtils.java attempts to perform elementList.add(el) when el.getNamespaceURI() == null. This means that when ReadHeaderInterceptor processes an inbound SOAP message with a null namespace Header element, the user encounters a NullPointerException. Method findAllElementsByTagNameNS now additionally checks that el.getNamespaceURI() != null before proceeding to perform elementList.add(el). ReadHeaderInterceptor can now process an inbound SOAP message with a null namespace Header element and the user no longer encounters the Exception.

cxf-4408 patch

When ReadHeaderInterceptor processes the following inbound SOAP message, DOMUtils throws a NullPointerException for the null namespace Header element:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:foo="http://cxf.apache.org/foo" xmlns:bar="http://cxf.apache.org/bar">
  <soapenv:Header>
    <foo:myheader>
      <Header>
        <bar:type>mytype</head:type>
      </Header>
    </foo:myheader>
  </soapenv:Header>
  ...

A NPE guard is needed.

GSS will work to manage customer expectations concerning timing.  If this patch must come after 5.3GA, that's acceptable.
Comment 2 Ryan Zhang 2012-07-20 06:34:59 UTC 
Please verify this issue on 5.3.0 CR1.
