Additional note: vanishing attribute namespace prefixes

[Andrej Konkow]

Title: Nachricht

Hi there,

 

I'm new to this kind of discussion but would like to respond to a message and point out another problem.

 

the solution you have described is not practicable from my point of view.

I have the following problem: We have evaluated the XML-Security package in combination with Apache Axis.

Everything is fine. Signing->Verifying, Encryption->Decryption.

But: When I make the following  Signing->Encryption  and on the other side Decryption->Verification  then

the verification will fail, as the namespaces are no more included. There's no possibility for me to include the namespaces

in the way you described as we just handle the incoming messages. Currently I have no solution. Do you?

 

regards,

 

Andrej

You are, of course, absolutely right.

 

For the benefit of any future searching of the list archives, the
sequence to get this right appears to be:

 

a = doc.createElement(localNamespace, prefix + ":" + tag);
a.setAttributeNS(xmlnsNamespace, "xmlns:" + prefix, localNamespace);
a.setAttributeNS(xmlnsNamespace, "xmlns:xsi", xmlschemaNamespace);
a.setAttributeNS(xmlschemaNamespace, "xsi:schemaLocation",
"localNamespace path-to-schema");

 

I hope to one day understand why it takes four lines to achieve a
construct that seems so fundamental.
