[jdk8u-dev] RFR: 8196491: Newlines in JAXB string values of SOAP-requests are escaped to "
"

[Aleks Efimov]

Hello,

Would you, please, review the fix for JAXWS regression bug [1] that has 
been introduced by a fix that tried to preserve whitespaces in WS 
parameters [2].
The proposed fix addresses the reported UnsupportedOperationException 
and brings the JDK7 and JDK8 in-sync in terms of white-space processing:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~aefimov/8196491/8/00

The fix has been integrated already into JAXWS/B-RI projects [3][4]. 
Regression and JCK tests showed no failures with the fix.

With Best Regards,
Aleksei
