Jukka Zitting commented on JCR-241:
-----------------------------------
Hmm, you are right. However it should probably be possible to map some other
namespace to the empty prefix. As in:
session.setNamespacePrefix("", "some-namespace");
For example to work with XML documents like:
<document xmlns="some-namespace"/>
This however is not possible if you cannot remap the empty namespace in the
first place.

> I'm not sure if this is a bug, feature or standard behaviour, but currently
> it is not possible to remap the default namespace to some other prefix. The
> following code throws a NamespaceException:
> session.setNamespacePrefix("foo", "");
> At least the Session.setNamespacePrefix() javadoc doesn't seem to prohibit
> changing the prefix of the default namespace and I couldn't find anything
> more specific in the JCR specification document. Restrictions are only placed
> on remapping the xml namespace.
> Note that the current nodetype code is actually relying on the default
> namespace being mapped to the empty prefix, so changing this would require
> small changes there as well.
> I haven't really run into any cases where I'd have needed such functionality,
> but it would be nice to clarify this issue.
