I've seen this same problem. I think it's related to JAXB. I'm not positive here but I think if you use the same namespace for your web service and your xsd file you'll end up with that ns2: namespace prefix. I haven't done any real test to tell.

Using annotations at package level we should be able to do something like the following: @javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlSchema ( xmlns = { @javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlNs(prefix="prd", namespaceURI="http://www.example.com/schemas/productSearch/20070108";), @javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlNs(prefix="common", namespaceURI="http://www.example.com/schemas/commonTypes/20070108";) } ) In package-info.java and then see prefixes such as "prd" and "common" in the resulting SOAP message. We always get the following: <soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"; xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";> <soap:Body> <ns2:productSearch xmlns:ns3="http://www.example.com/schemas/commonTypes/20070108"; xmlns:ns2="http://www.example.com/schemas/productSearch/20070108";> <ns2:productSearchText>HEDGEHOG</ns2:productSearchText> <ns3:dateRange> <ns3:startDate>2007-01-10</ns3:startDate> <ns3:endDate>2007-01-20</ns3:endDate> </ns3:dateRange> </ns2:productSearch> </soap:Body> </soap:Envelope> For some reason our element namespaces are being used correctly to generate the xmlns tags, but the prefixes are the defaults n2, n3, etc... instead of "prd", "common", etc... It seems like the package level annotations, in particular the XmlNS annotation is being ignored. Does anyone have any tips to try or examples to share? Is this a known issue (we are using 1.2.4)?
