http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=9963 DOM2Writer doesn't treat the "xml" namspace specially Summary: DOM2Writer doesn't treat the "xml" namspace specially Product: Axis Version: current (nightly) Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: Serialization/Deserialization AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The namespace "xml" is a special namespace. Lot of tools (especially Microsoft's .NET wsdl.exe) cannot parse an xml document having an explict declaration for the xml namespace. For example if I have an XML document like this <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsd:schema targetNamespace="http://tempuri.org"; xmlns="http://tempuri.org"; xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";> <xsd:annotation> <xsd:documentation xml:lang="en"> Purchase order schema for Example.com. Copyright 2000 Example.com. All rights reserved. </xsd:documentation> </xsd:annotation> </xsd:schema> Notice how the xml:lang="en" attribute uses the xml namespace without declaring what xml namespace really is. This is perfectly valid. Some tools will give an error if the namespace declaration exists. When I parse this xml and serialize it back using the DOM2Writer, it makes it like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsd:schema targetNamespace="http://tempuri.org"; xmlns="http://tempuri.org"; xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";> <xsd:annotation> <xsd:documentation xml:lang="en" xmlns:xml="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace";> Purchase order schema for Example.com. Copyright 2000 Example.com. All rights reserved. </xsd:documentation> </xsd:annotation> </xsd:schema> The explicit declaration of xmlns:xml="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace"; causes problems with wsdl.exe. Can you fix this problem? Thanks Pratik
