Hi Keith, I tried out your suggestions but having a little trouble getting them to work, hope you can help. I am trying to achieve just one default namespace declaration at the document root:
<root xmlns="http://my.org/foo";> <foo> </foo> </root> Approach 1 ---------- <class name="Foo"> <map-to ns-uri="http://my.org/foo"/> ... </class> This almost works but it produces xmlns="" attributes for all nested simple elements. For example: <root xmlns="http://my.org/foo";> <foo> <bar xmlns="">hello</bar> </foo> </root> Approach 2 ---------- <mapping xmlns:foo="http://my.org/foo";> ... </mapping> Produces an empty namespace at the root level and no other namespace declarations within the document: <root xmlns=""> <foo> </foo> </root> Approach 3 ---------- Take out the prefix in the <mapping> element. <mapping xmlns="http://my.org/foo";> ... </mapping> Produces an empty namespace at the root level and namespace declarations within all elements in the document: <root xmlns=""> <ns1:foo xmlns:ns1="http://my.org/foo";> ...all nested elements are prefixed with ns1 ... </ns1:foo> </root> -----Original Message----- From: Keith Visco [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, February 16, 2003 1:57 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [castor-dev] Namespaces with Castor Hi Mike, You can add namespaces to Castor in a few ways. In your mapping file do the following: <class name="..."> <map-to ns-uri="http://my.org/my-namespace"; ns-prefix="..."/> ... </class> You can also do the following: <mapping xmlns:foo="http://my.org/foo";> <class name="org.my.Foo"> <field name="data" type="string"> <bind-xml name="foo:data"/> </field> </class> </mapping> If you just want to declare a prefix for a namespace you can do the following: Marshaller m = new Marshaller(...); m.declareNamespace("foo", "http://my.org/foo";); Hopefully that answers your questions. If you need further assistence, just let us know.
