[castor-dev] "ns1" unwanted default namespace prefix in xml Marshal

[Rich Trevor]

Hello,

This might be a simple one but I don't see which switches or levers I need
to pull...

I'm using a mapping file to unmarshal an xml file into a class. Then I just
Marshal it back out to a different xml file.

I'm getting unwanted namespace identifiers (ns1) on the output file.

I've included a very simplified example that illustrates the behavior.

I'm using version 0.9.5.2.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,

R. Trevor

///////////////
// Simplified code example
///////////////

    String mapPath        = "test_mapping.xml";
    String inputFileName  = "test_input.xml";
    String outputFileName = "test_output.xml";

    // unmarshal the input file into the Test object
    mapping.loadMapping(mapPath);
    Unmarshaller unmar = new Unmarshaller(mapping);
    Test test = (Test)unmar.unmarshal(new InputSource(new
FileReader(inputFileName)));

    // marshal the Test object back out to the output file.
    Marshaller mar = new Marshaller(new FileWriter(outputFileName));
    mar.setMapping(mapping);

    // These method calls did not produce the desired effect (output =
input)
    //mar.setMarshalAsDocument(true);
    //mar.setNSPrefixAtRoot(true);
    //mar.setSchemaLocation("test.xsd");
    //mar.setNamespaceMapping("", "http://www.foo.org/test";);
    //mar.setNamespaceMapping(null, "http://www.foo.org/test";);

    mar.marshal(test);

// test_input file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

    <abc>ABC</abc>
