Hi, Thankyou Jim and Dan for the input. It was a relief to find out that operation works well even with the empty namespaces.
It is not a good thing to send uneccessary information on the wire. In my case I don't want to send any namespace. I hope that Dan's patch get applied soon. Thanx, Dimuthu. -- Lanka Software Foundation (http://www.opensource.lk) Promoting Open-Source Development in Sri Lanka
