Excessive AXIS Namespace Prefix generation 
-------------------------------------------

                 Key: ODE-290
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ODE-290
             Project: ODE
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Axis2 Integration
    Affects Versions: 1.1.1
         Environment: Java6u6, Tomcat 6.0.16
            Reporter: Ciaran Jessup
            Priority: Minor


The AXIS SOAP responses I'm getting back from ODE within soapui show a worrying 
proliferation of namespace prefixes.  The same namespace is receiving a new 
prefix everytime it is referenced in the response document, an example document 
showing a mock-up of web service result follows:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <axis2ns4756:ExecuteWorkflowResponse 
xmlns:axis2ns4756="http://mynsworkflow"; xmlns="http://mynsworkflow"; 
xmlns:saw="http://mynsworkflow";>
         <ExecuteWorkflowResult version="48" xmlns:ns2="http://mynswsdl";>
            <axis2ns4757:type xmlns:axis2ns4757="http://mynsmsg"; 
xmlns="http://mynsmsg";>1</axis2ns4757:type>
            <axis2ns4758:status xmlns:axis2ns4758="http://mynsmsg"; 
xmlns="http://mynsmsg";>1</axis2ns4758:status>
            <axis2ns4759:channel xmlns:axis2ns4759="http://mynsmsg"; 
xmlns="http://mynsmsg";>0</axis2ns4759:channel>
            <axis2ns4760:outcome xmlns:axis2ns4760="http://mynsmsg"; 
xmlns="http://mynsmsg";>bece5689-a575-4531-86b6-15176d827c08</axis2ns4760:outcome>
            <axis2ns4761:state xmlns:axis2ns4761="http://mynsmsg"; 
xmlns="http://mynsmsg";>53f123fc-9a27-4559-8fd2-86a6f9dc598e</axis2ns4761:state>
            <axis2ns4762:creationTime xmlns:axis2ns4762="http://mynsmsg";

            <axis2ns4763:changeTime xmlns:axis2ns4763="http://mynsmsg"; 
xmlns="http://mynsmsg";>0001-01-03T00:00:00+00:00</axis2ns4763:changeTime>
            <axis2ns4764:createdBy xmlns:axis2ns4764="http://mynsmsg"; 
xmlns="http://mynsmsg";>bece5689-a575-4531-86b6-15176d827c08</axis2ns4764:createdBy>
         </ExecuteWorkflowResult>
      </axis2ns4756:ExecuteWorkflowResponse>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

As one can see the same namespace is repeated for every element  (the XSD 
specifies that the element's default form is qualified), each element receiving 
a new prefix, where each prefix is a unique value. 

Now semantically speaking of course this doesn't matter, but I worry about the 
possible overhead of this (both in terms of having to create new namespace 
prefixes that are *globally* unique to the app server as far as I can tell, 
there must be some synchronisation there? and in terms of  un-neccessary 
traffic over the wire as the XML is much  'fatter' than neccessary)

I *think* this is an issue with the  relationship between ODE and AXIS2,  
rather than woodstox as I use that in a different portion of my app?
