类型为ElementNSImpl的对象作为com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.dom.ElementNSImpl

Question

So my WS-Trust server deployed on JDK1.8.0_161 environment is expecting a request which will contain xml nodes of type org.apache.xerces.dom.ElementNSImpl , but when the request comes, the nodes are of type com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.dom.ElementNSImpl , which is not making me not read the data from request. I am using xerces:xercesImpl:2.11.0 library, but wondering if JDK is messing up with the request parsing on server end. Currently I only see rt.jar that contains com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.dom.ElementNSImpl . What am I missing? Have anyone seen this error?

Answer 1

I solved this problem by using Element as interface rather than using implementation ElementNSImpl . This will make the implementation environment independent.

So the code looks like this

if(object instanceof org.w3c.dom.Element)

instead of

if(object instanceof ElementNSImpl)
