Elliotte Rusty Harold commented on XERCESJ-1720:
------------------------------------------------
It's not totally clear why you need this. The example you give is essentially
the same with or without the xmlns attributes. There's probably something in
the code somewhere that recognizes this and removes those attributes as
unnecessary.

> Key: XERCESJ-1720
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESJ-1720
> Project: Xerces2-J
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Documentation
> Affects Versions: 2.8.1
> Reporter: Vithursa
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: query
>
> I have a requirement to generate an XML which should have empty namespace. An
> example XML should looks like:
> {code:xml}
> <name xmlns:cap="http://sap.com/xi/BASIS";>
> <cap:attributeID>
> <attribute1 xmlns="" >xxxx</attribute1>
> <attribute2 xmlns="" >xxxx</attribute2>
> </cap:attributeID>
> </name>
> {code}
>
> As mentioned above, I need to add *xmlns* attribute with empty string. I
> have tried following ways to achieve it but none of them worked:
> {code:java}
> DocumentBuilderFactory docFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
> DocumentBuilder docBuilder;
> docBuilder = docFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
> Document doc = docBuilder.newDocument();
> element = doc.createElement("attribute1"); // It did not have any namespace.
> Output becomes as, <attribute1>xxxx</attribute1>.
> {code}
> {code:java}
> element = doc.createElementNS("", "name"); // Output :
> <attribute1>xxxx</attribute1>
> {code}
> {code:java}
> element = doc.createElement("name");
> element.setAttribute("xmlns", ""); // Output : <attribute1>xxxx</attribute1>
> {code}
> {code:java}
> element = doc.createElement("name");
> element.setAttributeNS("http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/";, "xmlns", "");
> // Output : <attribute1>xxxx</attribute1>
> {code}
> What is the correct way of adding an empty string as namespace to cater my
> requirement? Can someone provide guidance on this?
> Thanks,
> Vithursa
