[mono.git] / mcs / class / System.XML / System.Xml.Serialization / ChangeLog

2004-06-22  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@ximian.com>

        * ReflectionHelper.cs: Correctly detect private types.
        * XmlCodeExporter.cs: Implemented missing method.
        * XmlSchemaImporter.cs: Allow import of root primitive types.

2004-06-18  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * CodeIdentifier.cs, CodeIdentifiers.cs, MapCodeGenerator.cs,
          SerializationCodeGenerator.cs, SerializationSource.cs,
          TypeTranslator.cs, XmlAttributeOverrides.cs, XmlCustomFormatter.cs,
          XmlSerializationReader.cs, XmlSerializationWriter.cs,
          XmlSerializer.cs, XmlTypeMapMemberElement.cs, XmlTypeMapping.cs
          : Globalization fixes.
            In XmlCustomFormatter.GenerateToXmlString() time was not
            generated correctly.
            Replaced all CRLF XmlAttributeOverrides.cs into LF.

2004-06-13  Gert Driesen <drieseng@users.sourceforge.net>

        * XmlSerializationWriter.cs: changed signature of protected method
        FromByteArrayBase64 to match MS.NET

2004-06-10  Lluis Sanchez Gual <lluis@ximian.com>

        * MapCodeGenerator.cs, SoapCodeExporter.cs: Generate the same XmlInclude
          attributes that MS.NET generates.
        * SerializationCodeGenerator.cs: Avoid duplicate generation of maps in the
          same reader/writer.
        * XmlCodeExporter.cs: Added support for ignore flag in maps and members.
        * XmlReflectionImporter.cs: Changed GetReflectionMembers to match
          MS.NET member ordering. Patch by David Taylor.
        * XmlSchemaImporter.cs: When generating a choice member, set the ignore
          flag. The generated enum must also not be included in the schema.
        * XmlTypeMapMember.cs: Added ignore flag.
        * XmlTypeMapping.cs: The AttributeMembers property now returns the 
          attributes in the correct order.

2004-06-03  Gert Driesen <drieseng@users.sourceforge.net>

        * XmlSerializationReader.cs: added missing protected members
        to fix API compatibility with MS.NET
        * XmlSerializationWriter.cs: added missing protected members
        to fix API compatibility with MS.NET

2004-06-02  Lluis Sanchez Gual <lluis@ximian.com>

        * XmlSerializationReader.cs: Support schamea instance namespaces other than
          the 2001 one when reading the xsi type.
        * MapCodeGenerator.cs: Take into account that the root namespace and element
          name may have changed from one export to another of the same type. In
          this case the class attributes need to be regenerated.
        * SoapCodeExporter.cs, XmlCodeExporter.cs: Take the enum name from XmlType,
          not ElementName. Idem for namespace.
        * XmlReflectionImporter.cs: Set nullable property of XmlTypeMapping.
        * XmlRootAttribute.cs: Default value for nullable is true.
        * XmlSchemaImporter.cs: The root name for a class may change in some
          scenarios (for example, when the type is initially exported as part of
          another type and later exported as a root type).
        * XmlSerializationReader.cs: In GetXsiType(), if the type attribute is not
          found using the standard namespace, try getting the type using
          the 2000/10 and 1999 namespaces.
        * XmlTypeMapping.cs: Added IsNullable property. Updated SetRoot method ;-)

2004-05-26  Lluis Sanchez Gual <lluis@ximian.com>

        * SerializationCodeGenerator.cs, XmlSerializationReaderInterpreter.cs:
          In encoded format, primitive types can be null. Read them using
          ReadReferencingElement, that already checks for the null tag.

2004-05-25  Lluis Sanchez Gual <lluis@ximian.com>

        * XmlSerializationReader.cs: Check for empty element when reading an array
          element. This fixes bug #59003. Thanks Atsushi!

2004-05-07  Lluis Sanchez Gual <lluis@ximian.com>

        * XmlSerializationWriter.cs: Implemented some missing methods.
          In .NET 1.0, encoded null elements use the attribute null="1", while in
          1.1 the attribute is nil="true".
        * XmlTypeMapping.cs: Little fix for nested classes.

2004-05-07  Lluis Sanchez Gual <lluis@ximian.com>

        * XmlReflectionImporter.cs: Don't reset the internal tables at every
          ImportMembersMapping call. This fixes bug #58112. The problem is that
          it imported two different arrays (only different in the array item
          namespace) with the same name. Not sure what was this Reset needed for,
          everyting seems to work without it.

2004-05-05  Lluis Sanchez Gual <lluis@ximian.com>

        * SerializationCodeGenerator.cs, XmlSerializationReaderInterpreter.cs: 
          When deserializing an encoded method response, if the return type of the
          method is Object, assign to it the first element of the message, whatever
          it is.
        * XmlSerializationReader.cs: 
        * SoapReflectionImporter.cs, XmlReflectionImporter.cs: Set IsReturnValue of
          the imported member.
        * TypeTranslator.cs: Added method to safely get a primitive TypeData.
        * XmlSerializationReader.cs: Don't throw an exception when the CLR type for
          a given xsi type is not found. Just read it as primitive type.
        * XmlTypeMapMember.cs: Added IsReturnValue property.
        * XmlTypeMapping.cs: Added ReturnMember property.
        * XmlSerializer.cs: Reference System.Data when compiling the serializer.

2004-05-05  Lluis Sanchez Gual <lluis@ximian.com>

        * SerializationCodeGenerator.cs, XmlSerializationReaderInterpreter.cs: 
          When reading an object using the typeof(object) map, an emty xsi:type 
          means that it has to read the contents into an XmlNode[].
        * TypeData.cs: Return the correct full name for inner classes.
        * XmlSchemaImporter.cs: Improved detection of types that represent 
          "anyType", and must be mapped to XmlElement, XmlNode or Object.
        * XmlSerializationReader.cs: In GetXsiType(), find the type attribute using
          the correct namespace.
          In ReadTypedPrimitive(), read the element as XmlNode[] if the type is
          not known.

2004-05-05  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * XmlSerializationWriter.cs : It do not have to handle schema
          namespace as special one.

2004-05-03  Lluis Sanchez Gual <lluis@ximian.com>

        * XmlSerializationReaderInterpreter.cs: Removed the check for null 
          AttributeMembers collection. Even if there are no attribute members,
          attributes need to be read.

2004-05-03  Lluis Sanchez Gual <lluis@ximian.com>

        * XmlSerializationReader.cs: In ReadSerializable(), take into account that
          the IXmlSerializable object may not read all the EndElement it read.
          This fixes bug #57413.

2004-05-03  Lluis Sanchez Gual <lluis@ximian.com>

        * XmlSerializer.cs: Enable serializer generation by default.

2004-04-20  Lluis Sanchez Gual <lluis@ximian.com>

        * TypeTranslator.cs: Mapped again anyUri, but now it is mapped to String.
        * XmlSchemaImporter.cs: If a map was initially imported as a class, but it
          turns out that it is an array, import it again as array. This fixes
          bug #57133.

2004-04-15  Lluis Sanchez Gual <lluis@ximian.com>

        * XmlSchemaExporter.cs: When checking if a map has been exported or not,
          don't use type name for array types, since we can have different classes 
          that represent the same array type (for example StringCollection and 
          string[]).

2004-04-14  Lluis Sanchez Gual <lluis@ximian.com>

        * TypeTranslator.cs, XmlCustomFormatter.cs: Removed map from Uri to anyUri,
          not present in MS.NET.
        * XmlSerializationWriter.cs: Improved error message.

2004-03-30  Lluis Sanchez Gual <lluis@ximian.com>

        * SerializationCodeGenerator.cs, XmlReflectionImporter.cs, 
          XmlSerializationReader.cs, XmlSerializationReaderInterpreter.cs:
          Support deserialization of members of type XmlDocument. This fixes #56169.

2004-03-25  Lluis Sanchez Gual <lluis@ximian.com>

        * SerializationCodeGenerator.cs: Generate an integer for unknown enum values.
          Use a special method to generate default values, since default enum values
          will come as integers, so a special cast is needed.
        * XmlSerializationReaderInterpreter.cs,
        * SerializationSource.cs, SoapAttributeAttribute.cs, SoapAttributeOverrides.cs,
          SoapAttributes.cs, SoapElementAttribute.cs, SoapEnumAttribute.cs, 
          SoapTypeAttribute.cs, XmlAnyElementAttribute.cs, XmlAnyElementAttributes.cs,
          XmlArrayAttribute.cs, XmlArrayItemAttribute.cs, XmlArrayItemAttributes.cs, 
          XmlAttributeAttribute.cs, XmlAttributeOverrides.cs, XmlAttributes.cs,
          XmlChoiceIdentifierAttribute.cs, XmlElementAttribute.cs, XmlElementAttributes.cs,
          XmlEnumAttribute.cs, XmlReflectionMember.cs, XmlRootAttribute.cs,
          XmlTextAttribute.cs, XmlTypeAttribute.cs: Had to change the implementation
          of SerializationSource. It can't keep and use the XmlAttributeOverride
          instances as key values, since those instances can be modified after the
          xml map has been generated. Now, SerializationSource generates a unique 
          string hash from XmlAttributeOverride and uses it for comparisons.

2004-03-24  Lluis Sanchez Gual <lluis@ximian.com>

        * SerializationCodeGenerator.cs: Several fixes: generate valid names for 
          WriteRoot_ and ReadRoot_ methods. Cast result of ReadTypedPrimitive to
          the adequate type. Set the default value of members that do have a default
          value. Other minor fixes.
        * SoapReflectionImporter.cs, XmlReflectionImporter.cs: All maps must derive
          from typeof(object) map, even those that have another base class.
        * XmlCustomFormatter.cs: Fixed generation of conversion from char to string.
          It must serialize the char as number, not as character.
        * XmlSerializationReaderInterpreter.cs: Set the default value of members 
          that do have a default value.
        * XmlTypeMapping.cs: Added property MembersWithDefault, which returns a list
          of members that have a default value.

2004-03-15  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@ximian.com>

        * XmlSchemaImporter.cs: Import IXmlSerializable types as DataSet, like in MS.NET.
          This fixes bug #55547.

2004-03-13  David Sheldon <dave-mono@earth.li>

  * XmlSerializationWriter.cs: Implement WriteElementStringRaw with a
   byte [].

2004-03-13  David Sheldon <dave-mono@earth.li>
 
  * XmlTextAttribute.cs: Initialise dataType with zero-length string. 
   fixes test case that tests for this directly.
  * TypeTranslator.cs: Check for new zero-length dataType so we don't reject
   it. Treat it as null.
   
2004-03-12  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@ximian.com>

        * CodeIdentifier.cs: Limit the length of identifiers.
        * MapCodeGenerator.cs: Do not generate base class if it is an XmlNode.
          Generate types using GetDomType, so if the type is an array, it creates
          the correct combination of types.
        * SerializationCodeGenerator.cs, XmlTypeMapping.cs: When trying to parse
          an enum, if the string is empty and the enum has [Flags], then return 0
          as value. This fixes bug #55509.
        * XmlSchemaImporter.cs: Added check for redefines of attribute groups. They
          are not supported. Another check: a simple type cannot be enum if it does
          not have any enum facet.
          And another fix: use string as default type for attribtues.
        * XmlSchemas.cs: Fixed search for schema elements. An schema may import 
          other schemas. An imported schema would not be in the table, but its
          elements (although from another namespace) would be in the schema that 
          imported it. So, we need know to check for every schema in the table.
        * XmlSerializer.cs: Added environment variable to help debugging code 
          generator output.

2004-02-27  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@ximian.com>

        * MapCodeGenerator.cs: Added IncludeMetadata property, which returns a list
          of XmlInclude attributes needed for the service class.
          IsMapExported: Removed check for object type, since it can now be exported.
          SetMapExported: Use the type name as key, since different importers may
          be used to create a map for the same type.
          GenerateClassInclude: Updated signature.
        * SoapCodeExporter.cs: Moved management of IncludeMetadata to MapCodeGenerator.
          GenerateClassInclude(): Updated signature.
        * SoapReflectionImporter.cs: Support SoapIncludeAttribute in array members.
          Implemented IncludeTypes.
        * XmlCodeExporter.cs: Moved management of IncludeMetadata to MapCodeGenerator.
          GenerateClassInclude(): Updated signature.
        * XmlMemberMapping.cs: Added missing property.
        * XmlReflectionImporter.cs: GetReflectionMembers must be private.
          Implemented IncludeTypes().
        * XmlSchemaExporter.cs: Added support for exporting typeof(object).
        * XmlSchemaImporter.cs: Changed the implementation of ImportDerivedTypeMapping.
          Now, it does a regular import and then assign the required base class to
          the imported map. In this way it is possible to assign a base type for a 
          map that was previously imported without a base type.
        * XmlTypeMapping.cs: Added internal method SetRoot().

2004-02-24  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@ximian.com>

        * SerializationCodeGenerator.cs: Added support for generation of readers
          and writers for several maps in a single class. Added support for
          XmlMemberMapping. Fixed generation of serializers that use encoded format.
        * SoapAttributeAttribute.cs, SoapAttributeOverrides.cs, SoapAttributes.cs,
          SoapElementAttribute.cs, SoapEnumAttribute.cs, SoapTypeAttribute.cs, 
          XmlAnyElementAttribute.cs, XmlAnyElementAttributes.cs, XmlArrayAttribute.cs,
          XmlArrayItemAttribute.cs, XmlArrayItemAttributes.cs, XmlAttributeAttribute.cs,
          XmlAttributeOverrides.cs, XmlChoiceIdentifierAttribute.cs, XmlRootAttribute.cs,
          XmlElementAttribute.cs, XmlElementAttributes.cs, XmlEnumAttribute.cs,
          XmlReflectionMember.cs, XmlTextAttribute.cs, XmlTypeAttribute.cs:
          Added InternalEquals method.
        * XmlAttributes.cs: Removed a lot of unused code. Added InternalEquals method.
        * SoapReflectionImporter.cs: Set SerializationSource to generated maps.
        * XmlCustomFormatter.cs: Fixed little bug.
        * XmlMapping.cs: Added Source property. This a global identifier of the map.
        * XmlReflectionImporter.cs: Set SerializationSource to generated maps.
        * XmlSchemaImporter.cs: Set the correct value for IsNillable when importing
          mapping members.
        * XmlSerializationReaderInterpreter.cs, XmlSerializationWriter.cs: Minor fixes.
        * XmlSerializationWriterInterpreter.cs: WriteObject and WriteEnum were not
          correctly used.
        * XmlSerializer.cs: Added support for generation of serializers.

2004-02-18  Atsushi Enomoto  <atsushi@ximian.com>

        * SerializationCodeGenerator.cs,
          SerializationCodeGeneratorConfiguration.cs:
          Added <namespaceImports> feature ("using XXX;" generation) support.

2004-02-17  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@ximian.com>

        * XmlSerializationWriter.cs: When writing the root element, use a prefix
          if the namespace of the element is defined in the list of namespaces
          provided to the XmlSerializer. This fixes bug #54427.

2004-02-16  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@ximian.com>

        * MapCodeGenerator.cs: Modified some methods to make them easier to reuse.
          Those are basically methods to add custom attributes to element and
          attribute members.
        * SoapCodeExporter.cs: Track changes in MapCodeGenerator.
        * XmlCodeExporter.cs: Better support for custom attribute generation for
          method parameters.
        * XmlCustomFormatter.cs: Added null check.
        * XmlSchemaImporter.cs: do not set IsOptionalValueType property to 
          attributes that are required.
        * XmlSerializationReaderInterpreter.cs: Method parameters may be serialized
          as attributes.

2004-02-11  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@ximian.com>

        * MapCodeGenerator.cs: Changed some methods to make them easier to reuse.
        * TypeTranslator.cs: NMTOKENS, ENTITIES and IDREFS must be mapped to
          string, not string[].
        * XmlCodeExporter.cs: AddMappingMetadata(): improved attribute generation
          for array parameters. In general, improved generation of schema Form 
          property.
        * XmlMemberMapping.cs: Added Form property.
        * XmlReflectionImporter.cs: Types that inherit from other types cannot be
          simple types. Added a check for this.
        * XmlSchemaExporter.cs: several fixes: better generation of IsMixed and
          Form. The key used to determine if a map has been already generated must
          include the XmlType, since there can be two xml types with the same CLR
          type and namespace (for example, they may differ in the Form property).
        * XmlSchemaImporter.cs: When getting the TypeData for a schema element,
          also return the corresponding map. There can be two maps that have the
          same TypeData, so given a TypeData is not always possible to get the
          correct corresponding map (for example two arrays that only differ in the
          Form of the item).
        * XmlTypeMapping.cs: Added method to set if a map can represent a simple
          type or not.

2004-02-04  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@ximian.com>

        * TypeTranslator.cs, XmlCustomFormatter.cs: Added support for the
          normalizedString schema type.

2004-02-04  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@ximian.com>

        * XmlReflectionImporter.cs: Get the class members using the right order.
        * XmlSerializationWriterInterpreter.cs: Removed unneeded code.
          A member with the Any attribute can also contain text. Support this.
        * XmlTypeMapMemberElement.cs: Added CanBeText property.

2004-01-27  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@ximian.com>

        * XmlSchemaImporter.cs: Redefinition of types are not supported. Added a
          check.

2004-01-27  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@ximian.com>

        * MapCodeGenerator.cs: Added helper method for generating an attribute
          parameter of type enum.
        * XmlAttributeAttribute.cs: little fix.
        * XmlCodeExporter.cs: Support XmlAnyAttribute when generating attributes
          for method parameters.
        * XmlMemberMapping.cs: Improved support for members of type "any".
        * XmlReflectionImporter.cs: Improved assignment of the attribute form.
          If the namespace is explicitly specified, then the form should be
          qualified. Also fixed issues with the namespace assigned to attributes.
          This should fix bug #53384.
        * XmlSchemaExporter.cs: ExportMembersMapping(): improved support for
          methods that return values of type "any". Changed the methods
          AddSchemaArrayElement and AddSchemaElement, so instead of adding the
          element, return it, and the caller must add it to the collection.
          Other fixes in attribute generation.
        * XmlSchemaImporter.cs: ImportAnyType(): if a type name is provided,
          generate the AnyType mapping from the type described in the schema.
          Small fixes regarding IsMixed property of complex types (it means that
          the type can contain text, so the XmlTextAttribute must be generated).
        * XmlSerializationReaderInterpreter.cs: Reading of members by-order must
          be only used in the bare+encoded format.

2004-01-24  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@ximian.com>

        * SoapReflectionImporter.cs: Types included with SoapInclude don't need
          to be derived types of the one that has the attribute.
        * XmlReflectionImporter.cs: Recursively register the derived maps of a given
          map to the parent map. This fixes #53246.
        * XmlSerializationWriter.cs: Some fixes regarding empty namespaces.

2004-01-22  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@ximian.com>

        * XmlSerializationReaderInterpreter.cs: When deserializing an XmlElement,
          do not check the root element name, since it can be any name. This fixes
          bug #53201.

2004-01-20  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@ximian.com>

        * XmlReflectionImporter.cs: Throw exception if a value type member has the
          IsNullable=true flag. This fixes bug #52906.

2004-01-20  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@ximian.com>

        * MapCodeGenerator.cs, XmlSchemaImporter.cs: Attributes are allways optional,
          so a 'specified' member has always to be generated.
        * TypeData.cs: Fixed check for value type.

2004-01-20  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@ximian.com>

        * XmlSerializationReaderInterpreter.cs, XmlSerializationWriterInterpreter.cs,
          XmlTypeMapMember.cs, MapCodeGenerator.cs, SoapCodeExporter.cs, TypeData.cs,
          XmlCodeExporter.cs, XmlReflectionImporter.cs, XmlSchemaExporter.cs,
          XmlSchemaImporter.cs, XmlSerializationReaderInterpreter.cs,
          XmlSerializationWriterInterpreter.cs, XmlTypeMapMember.cs:
          Added support for value specifiers members. This fixes bug #53024.

2004-01-20  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@ximian.com>

        * XmlSchemaExporter.cs: Don't create referenced element if it has already
          been created (two types could be referencing the same schema element).

2004-01-19  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@ximian.com>

        * XmlReflectionImporter.cs: Read IsNullable flag from XmlArrayAttribute.
        * XmlSerializationWriterInterpreter.cs: Interpret IsNullable flag for
          arrays. This fixes bug #53018.

2004-01-14  Lluis Sanchez Gual  <lluis@ximian.com>

        * MapCodeGenerator.cs: Use type namespace instead of root namespace as
          default namespace for members.
        * XmlCodeExporter.cs: Fixed generation of XmlRootAttribute.
        * XmlReflectionImporter.cs: Fixed the assignment of root and type 
          namespaces.
        * XmlSchemaExporter.cs: Use type namespace instead of root namespace as

          to check if a type is primitive, instead of Type.IsPrimitive, since CLR
          primitive types are not the same as XML primitive types. Patch proposed
          by Mordechai Taitelman. This fixes bug #52228.
        * XmlSerializationWriter.cs: Fixes in WriteNullTagEncoded and WriteNullTagLiteral.

          specific namespace. Added a flag for turning namespace check on/off.

2003-11-27  Lluis Sanchez Gual <lluis@ximian.com>

        * XmlSerializationReader.cs: Generate identifiers for arrays user a counter.
          delayedListFixups.Count cannot be used because elementes from
          delayedListFixups are deleted sometimes.
        
2003-11-27  Lluis Sanchez Gual <lluis@ximian.com>

          Use the new root namespace stored in the map when generating the root element.
        * XmlSerializationWriter: Always write a prefix when writing a qname, even if the
          namespace is the default namespace.
        * XmlSerializationWriterInterpreter.cs: fixed missing "else".

          SoapIncludeAttribute are now transitive (if class A includes class B, and B includes C, then 
          A includes C).

2003-06-30  Lluis Sanchez Gual <lluis@ximian.com>

        * SoapReflectionImporter.cs, XmlReflectionImporter.cs, XmlTypeMapping.cs: 
          Added support for serialization of enums with the Flags attribute.

2003-06-28  Lluis Sanchez Gual <lluis@ximian.com>

        * TypeData.cs: Type of item of ICollections is now taken from the Item(int) property. Add() can
          be overlodaded, so it is not good for this.
