Re: "Localname" of attribute value

Hi,

when using "anyType" as a parameter, type information about the value
passed is included as an attribute, e.g. in the soap message

       <pData xsi:type="xsd:double">3.1415</pData>

I can get the type attribute using axiom_element_get_attribute(), but
the attribute's value is "xsd:double". How can I get the localname
"double" (without simple string parsing). Is there any utility function
to split a qname into namespace and localname?

AFAIK no

 I have read through the
qname functions, but I don't know how to add the context (as I don't
really know that the namespace prefix is xsd). The namespace information
is somewhere (before or after) in the SOAP message.

E.g. an alternative for specification is

<pData xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
xsi:type="xs:int" mlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";>100</pData>

Or would the suggested solution be to just ignore the prefix and assume
that the namespace prefix of a type attribute is just ok?

Best,
Thomas
