Hi;
That all works great. But why is it that
wordDoc.addElement("fonts",
"http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/word/2003/wordml";);
Doesn't add <w:fonts> if that namespace has been added with that prefix? It
seems to me that the only reason to do addNamespace is if you then go do
addElement("w:fonts") which means the programmer has to handle all of that
mapping.
And if so, is there any reason no not just do addElement("w:fonts") instead
as that is shorter code? Or in that case is dom4j not aware of the namespace
mapping?
Thanks - dave

This creates an element in the
'http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/word/2003/wordml' namespace,
without a prefix.
> wordDoc.addNamespace("w",
> "http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/word/2003/wordml";);
This adds a namespace declaration to the element with a prefix. (does
not make the element part of this namespace)
> Element fonts = wordDoc.addElement("fonts",
> "http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/word/2003/wordml";);
Again this creates an element being part of this namespace (not
setting a prefix).
It is debatable wether 2 namespace declarations with the same URI
should be allowed to be in scope at the same time. According to the
XML spec this is however allowed so I think dom4j is handling this
correctly.
What I would do instead is:
Namespace ns = new Namespace( "w",
"http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/word/2003/wordml";) ;
Document wordML = DocumentHelper.createDocument();
Element wordDoc = wordML.addElement( QName.get( "wordDocument", ns));
Element fonts = wordDoc.addElement( QName.get( "fonts", ns));

Edwin
