Whitespace processing for xs:anyURI type

[glassfishrobot]

Whitespaces are not collapsed during XML unmarshal for anyURI schema type.

The tested target Java types were String (was not trimmed in the result) and
java.net.URI (was null in the result).

The anyURI type has the following restriction:
<xs:restriction base="xs:anySimpleType">
<xs:whiteSpace value="collapse" fixed="true" id="anyURI.whiteSpace"/>
</xs:restriction>

This issue seems to be related to the Issue#396

As far as I know, XML Schema facets are not meant as "processing hints" for an
unmarshaller; they define restrictions on the lexical representation, to be
checked by validation against a schema.

@laune I'm not sure, how the anyURI->String conversion should be handled correctly
(I personally prefer trimmed value), but the anyURI->java.net.URI should result in
not-null URI, I think.

If I'm wrong then also dateTime type handling should be changed back (to the
version before resolving the Issue#396).

I've found a workaround, which is suggested in the attached test application.
If the XML is parsed to a DOM first with validation enabled and the Unmarshaller gets the DOM to unmarshal, everything works as it should.
Nevertheless, there remains 2 problems:

• workaround only works in Java 6 (It may work in Java 5 with endorsed newer XML parser)
• XML document has to be valid

The test-app archive doesn't contain JAXB libs - so it has to be added manually to lib and endorsed folders.

I think the best way to fix this is to configure the underlying JAXP to perform string normalization and pass that to JAXB.
