Description

when using the following binding, a compiletime error occurs:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-2"?>
<binding>
<mapping name="Data" class="structure.StructureParentData"
ordered="false" flexible="true">
<structure name="structure" field="structureChild"
type="structure.StructureChildData"/>
</mapping>

<!-- this will cause an error during compile time -->
<mapping ordered="false" class="structure.StructureChildData"
abstract="true">
<!-- this works -->
<!-- <mapping ordered="true" class="structure.StructureChildData"
abstract="true"> -->
<!-- this works, too -->
<!-- <mapping class="structure.StructureChildData" abstract="true">-->
<value style="text" field="content"/>
<value style="attribute" field="attribute" name="attribute"/>
</mapping>
</binding>

problem seems to be that ordered is set to "false" but a value tag
with style="text" exists. when we set ordered="true" or do not specify
the order parameter, everything works fine.

the stacktrace is:

Sorry, last sentence has been cut:

The JUnit test calls the compiler directly, the zip is an export of an eclipse project.

This is really a usage error, since there's no way to make sense of text values inside an unordered grouping. I've added a validation check for this condition, and have also updated the documentation to say that this is prohibited.
