http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14139 NamespaceDeclaration's are not used during the serialization of MessageElement. Summary: NamespaceDeclaration's are not used during the serialization of MessageElement. Product: Axis Version: 1.0 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: Serialization/Deserialization AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] When addNamespaceDeclaration(String prefix, String namespaceURI) is called on a MessageElement, the namespace declarataion is added within the MessageElement, but not used during Serialization. Example.... ### AddNamespaceDeclarationTest.java ### import org.apache.axis.message.MessageElement; import javax.xml.namespace.QName; import java.util.Iterator; public class AddNamespaceDeclarationTest { public AddNamespaceDeclarationTest() { } public static void main(String[] args) { try { MessageElement me = new MessageElement("http://www.wolfram.com","Test"); me.addNamespaceDeclaration("pre", "http://www.wolfram2.com"); me.addAttribute( "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance", "type", "pre:test1"); System.out.println(me.toString()); Iterator it = me.getNamespacePrefixes(); while(it.hasNext()) { String prefix = (String)it.next(); System.out.println(prefix + ":" + me.getNamespaceURI(prefix)); } } catch(Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } } Result (I fixed up the xml to make it more readible)... <ns1:Test xsi:type="pre:test1" xmlns:ns1="http://www.wolfram.com" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"/> pre:http://www.wolfram2.com You will notice that even though the namespace declaration is explicitly set, it is not used during serialization.
