Elliotte Rusty Harold commented on XERCESJ-1720:
------------------------------------------------
That higher level processing sounds broken. In the example you give xmlns="" is
not different from no xmlns attribute at all. xmlns="" is only needed when
there's a default namespace in scope and you need to remove it.

> 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
