Imports in XML not parsed

[WJSchakel]

When parsing from XML, the included definitions such as GTU types, are not parsed. Current simulations are running by the grace of OtsNetworks being created with default types, and all those simulations using default types. The created types happen to create a whole separate set of types, who's id's and parent structure matches with the default types. In overview:

Imported types (default) from XML: not generated Default types in code: used in simulations Default types in OtsNetwork: created with matching id's and parent structure

I'm wondering whether the spf variable in the code below (from XmlNetworkLaneParser) does anything. There seems to be no relation with 'jc' or 'unmarshaller'.

        JAXBContext jc = JAXBContext.newInstance(OTS.class);
        Unmarshaller unmarshaller = jc.createUnmarshaller();
        SAXParserFactory spf = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
        spf.setXIncludeAware(true);
        spf.setNamespaceAware(true);
        spf.setValidating(true);
        return (OTS) unmarshaller.unmarshal(xmlURL);

Good question. It might set a number of parameters that are used in the parsing, but the way it has been coded it looks like it is doing nothing indeed. I will check.

The way it is programmed right now, it does not do anything because it is indeed not connected. The SaxParserFactory part can be safely deleted as far as I can see. In case we want to use a SaxReader with the JAXB contexts at some point, we could use the tips in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10890323/using-sax-with-jaxbcontext. Right now that does not seem needed.

There is a parseXML(final URL xmlURL) method, in which the includes do not work. It has the above code. There is also parseXML(final InputStream xmlStream) in which the includes do work. It has very similar code, but explicitly uses the SAXParserFactory part. See TrafCodDemo2 on how the working method is used.

SAXSource saxSource = new SAXSource(xmlReader, new InputSource(xmlURL.openStream())); seems to do the trick. It translates the URL in to an InputStream.

Replacing the entire method with return parseXML(xmlURL.openStream()); fixed it.
