The problem is that namespace qualifications are scoped for the element as well as its contents. When you specify the default namespace in your second example, you're putting the xml-fragment into the http://common.toolkit/bean namespace.
In other words, your second example is really equivalent to: > <bean:xml-fragment xmlns:bean="http://common.toolkit/bean";> > <bean:field1>value</bean:field1> > <bean:field2>value</bean:field2> > </bean:xml-fragment> How are you going to get a workaround? I'm not sure. It would be easier for you if the contents of the xml-fragment was a single element, then you could just apply your namespace there instead. One thing you could try is creating an XmlOptions object and using one of the synthetic element or namespace substitution tricks and passing it along to parse (i.e. figure out how to swap in a non-qualified xml-fragment qname for your namespace-qualified xml-fragment qname).
