[dom4j-user] Re: XMLWriter and namespaces

[Robert Koberg]

Hi again,

What is the best way to write a minimized version of a document that 
might contain namespaces?

In looking at the source of XMLWriter, it shows there is no faqcility to 
write namespaces the way I am trying to below. Now I am just writing to 
the servelt output stream, but perhaps the method below could be useful 
in the XMLWriter?

public void writeOpen(Element element, List namespaces) {
  writer.write("<");
  writer.write(element.getQualifiedName());
  for (int i=0; i < namespaces.size(); i++) {
    writeNamespace(namespaces.get(i));
  }
  writeAttributes(element);
}

is this worth it?

best,
-Rob

Hi,

I am trying to use the XMLWriter to send an XML stream to a browser 
(reduce from a much larger Document). The elements I want to write exist 
in a namespace. But everything I have tried so far will not create the 
namespace in the outputstream. If I use the XMLWriter to write the dom4j 
Document it works as expected. How can I get the namespace into the output?

Here is an example of what i have tried:

XMLWriter xmlWriter = new XMLWriter(out);
xmlWriter.startDocument();
xmlWriter.writeOpen(parentElem);
//xmlWriter.write(parentElem.getNamespace());
List<Element> children = parentElem.elements();
for (Element child : children) {
  xmlWriter.writeOpen(child);
  xmlWriter.writeClose(child);
}
xmlWriter.writeClose(parentElem);
xmlWriter.endDocument();
xmlWriter.close();

thanks,
-Rob
