DATA HANDLER REVISIONS

This patch contains the following revisions since the last maintenance release:

Available as of Version	CR Number / APAR Number	Description
2.7.2	44470	XML ODA may fail to generate BOs when a schema file has a reference to an element or complex type in another schema file. Fails with "Error in call core.setAgentProperties: schema for type XXXXX not found".
2.7.2	62002 / JR22393	XML ODA fails to generate BO definitions, resulting in a NullPointerException due to lack of nested AttributeGroup support.
2.7.2	62009 / JR22392	XML Data Handler doesn’t preserve whitespace in simple tags.
2.7.2	67394 / JR22171	XML Data Handler always performs escape processing (regardless of MO and ASI configuration) when converting from a BO to XML for BO attributes representing XML attributes.
2.7.2	71298 / JR22391	XML Data Handler fails to convert an XML stream to a Business Object with a NoSuchAttributeException.
2.7.2	71953 / JR21941	XML Data Handler failed to process nested mixed type elements.
2.7.2	72301 / JR22390	XML Data Handler assumes the Byte Order Mark has been removed in an xml response. 1. Only the "getBO(InputStream serializedData, Object config)" method supports xml content containing a bom. 2. If the aforementioned method is called and the inputStream contains a recognized BOM the method will automatically invoke the setEncoding() method of the BO handler. 3. The standard polling method invoked by components (i.e. JText Adapter) is a “getBO(Reader, …)” method that assumes the bom has been removed.
2.7.2	72730	XML Data Handler unable to process complex BOs. “Formatting failed. Reason :: There is no attribute at position ‘-1’ in business object definition ‘XXXXXXX’”
2.7.2	73328	XML Data Handler fails to process documents with a top level element value containing the character ‘-‘.
