IOException when parsing XML with XMLMapper

[dbories]

Hello,

I found a weird error when trying to parse XML documents with an com.fasterxml.jackson.dataformat.xml.XmlMapper. If an XML element has no attribute and contains both text nodes and sub-elements, the XML parser fails with the following exception:

 Exception in thread "main" java.io.IOException: Expected END_ELEMENT, got event of type 1
 	at com.fasterxml.jackson.dataformat.xml.deser.XmlTokenStream.skipEndElement(XmlTokenStream.java:180)
 	at com.fasterxml.jackson.dataformat.xml.deser.FromXmlParser.nextToken(FromXmlParser.java:558)
 	at com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.deser.std.BaseNodeDeserializer.deserializeObject(JsonNodeDeserializer.java:223)
 	at com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.deser.std.JsonNodeDeserializer.deserialize(JsonNodeDeserializer.java:69)
 	at com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.deser.std.JsonNodeDeserializer.deserialize(JsonNodeDeserializer.java:15)
 	at com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper._readMapAndClose(ObjectMapper.java:3798)
 	at com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper.readTree(ObjectMapper.java:2381)
 	at test.mvn.TestJackson.main(TestJackson.java:18)

Example of XML document that produces the error

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
 <root>
   <a>lorem <b>ipsum</b> dolor</a>
 </root>

If the parent element has at least one attribute, the parsing is OK.
Example of XML document that does not produce any error:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
 <root>
   <a id="1">lorem <b>ipsum</b> dolor</a>
 </root>

The java code used:

import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.nio.charset.StandardCharsets;

import org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils;

import com.fasterxml.jackson.dataformat.xml.XmlMapper;

public class TestJackson {

  public static void main(
      final String[] args) throws IOException {
    final String iString = FileUtils.readFileToString(new File("C:/test.xml"), StandardCharsets.UTF_8);

    new XmlMapper().readTree(iString);
  }

}

Reproduced with 2.8.0 and 2.8.7
Not reproduced with 2.7.8

Since this is related to XML handling, this bug should be against jackson-dataformat-xml, so could you re-file at:

https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson-dataformat-xml/issues

Indeed.
I got my tabs mixed up. I'll repost my bug there. Thanks.
