hi,
In OMNamespaceImpl class a commodity method named "equals(String
namespaceUri)" is missing!at the moment only this one is there, but it
returns false if only the prefixes are different.
public boolean equals(String uri, String prefix) {
return (((prefix == null) && (this.prefix == null)) ||
((prefix != null) && prefix.equals(this.prefix))) &&
((uri == null) && (this.uri == null) ||
(uri != null) && uri.equals(this.uri));
}
at the moment you have to write ugly code like this to get rid of:
element.getNamespace().getNamespaceURI().equals(namespaceURI)
1. it's not best practice to overload java.lang.Object#equals(Object)
and 2. I agree with you that equality according to the XML namespace
semantics should not consider any namespace prefixes (e.g. see the
javax.xml.namespace.QName implementation).
So the existing equals(String, String) method should probably be removed
or renamed to avoid confusion.
An org.apache.axiom.om.OMElement#belongsToNamespace(String) method would
probably suit your needs. However I'm not sure if it would be wise to
introduce such methods into the API.
