XmlComplexContentImpl.equal_to() fails to throw exception when unable to return \
                correct value
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


                 Key: XMLBEANS-347
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XMLBEANS-347
             Project: XMLBeans
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions:  Version 2.3
         Environment: n/a
            Reporter: Charles Butterfield
            Priority: Critical


I was recently horrified to discover that valueEquals() fails silently for complex \
types.  For complex types the comparison is delegated to \
XmlComplexContentImpl.equal_to() which simply returns "true" with the comment \
"BUGBUG: by-value structure comparison undone".

Clearly the method should throw an exception to alert users to the issue, as do \
various neighboring methods.

I first ran into this problem (today) while using an old xbean.jar  (built in early \
2004).  I then checked the 2.3.0 source and the bug still exists.  So its been there \
unchanged since version 1.0.4 at least.

Hopefully adding the exception is a no-brainer.  Perhaps a working implementation \
could follow.
