I'm sorry, it seems Document.Factory.createNamespace() works slightly different from new Namespace(). So instead of null namespace prefix use empty string:
Namespace ns = documentFactory.createNamespace("", "http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"); Following code works for me: public static void main(String[] args) { DocumentFactory documentFactory = new DocumentFactory(); Namespace ns = documentFactory.createNamespace("","http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"); Element el = documentFactory.createElement(QName.get("root", ns)); Document document = documentFactory.createDocument(el); System.out.println(document.asXML()); } Output of this code is: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <root xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"/> Filip Jirsák 2008/11/2 Alessio Camaroto <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Thanks a lot but It doesn't work I have a java.lang.NullPointerException > when I try to create the Namespace ns.
