           Summary: Nested element from different xmlns is not recognized.
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.7.0
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Core
        AssignedTo: notifications@ant.apache.org
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


I am setting this bug to "core" since AFAICT the bug is not in typedef/taskdef,
but rather in the namespace resolution of nested types.

[...]

I have two sets of local Ant tasks, say A and B, and B tasks use nested types
defined on A. I have tried to start using the "uri' attribute on both groups,
but things don't work with nested types.

Namely I cannot use nested elements from one namespace, inside tasks defined
into a another namespace.


[...]

Importing tasks inside a xmlns:B="etc", and importing the types from A without
using "uri" will work:

<B:createapplication name="admin">
      <database refid="ID" />
</B:createapplication>

Importing everything withOUT using "uri", will also work:

<createapplication name="admin">
      <database refid="ID" />
</createapplication>

However using xmlns:B="www.B_JAR", and xmlns:A="www.A_JAR" will NOT work:
<B:createapplication name="admin">
      <A:database refid="mydatabse"/>
</B:createapplication>

Here I will get:  
"""B:createapplication doesn't support the nested "database" element."""

Using the same xmlns settings, if I pass the database element through a
reference in an attribute, like in

<A:database name="etc" bootstrap="etc" id="mydatabase"/>
<B:createapplication name="admin" databaseref="mydatabse">
</B:createapplication>

things do work. 

So the namespace import seems to be OK, what is failing is the type resolution
of nested types.
