Claude Warren commented on CONFIGURATION-652:
---------------------------------------------
In XMLConfiguration class line 868 we find
{code}
private Document createDocument() throws ConfigurationException
{
ReferenceNodeHandler handler = getReferenceHandler();
XMLDocumentHelper docHelper =
(XMLDocumentHelper)
handler.getReference(handler.getRootNode());
XMLDocumentHelper newHelper =
(docHelper == null) ? XMLDocumentHelper
.forNewDocument(getRootElementName()) : docHelper
.createCopy();
{code}
The {code}XMLDocumentHelper.forNewDocument(){code} creates the new document for
the root element. However, the namespace attributes are attached to the
{code}handler.getRootNode(){code}. I think that the document builder needs the
namespace defined before usage and so the namespace info should be made
available in the {code}XMLDocumentHelper.forNewDocument(){code} method.
Additionally the {code}forNewDocument(){code} method calls {code}Element
rootElem = doc.createElement(rootElementName){code} which does not create a
namespace aware name. To do that {code}doc.createElementNS(){code} method
would need to be called.
