I've managed to solve the problem and am posting it here in case anyone else runs into this issue however I would still be really interested if anyone could tell me how to ignore the default namespace specified in the root element.
I had previously tried setting the namespace on the root entity annotation but what was missing was putting the xml elements into the same namespace. Below is my annotated entity that is working fine. @XmlRootElement(name = "profile", namespace = "http://site.com/1.0-SNAPSHOT/GuestProfile.xsd";) @XmlType(name = "", propOrder = { }) public class ProfileEntity { @XmlElement(namespace = "http://site.com/1.0-SNAPSHOT/GuestProfile.xsd";, required = true) private String title; @XmlElement(namespace = "http://site.com/1.0-SNAPSHOT/GuestProfile.xsd";, required = true) private String firstName; @XmlElement(namespace = "http://site.com/1.0-SNAPSHOT/GuestProfile.xsd";, required = true) private String middleName; //Getters and Setters without annotations } On Sun, Jul 18, 2010 at 10:00 AM, Ian Petzer <[email protected]> wrote: > Oh sorry, that was just a typo on my behalf.
