Hi Tony,
at that level of detail your trouble is hard to shoot.
Far and away the most common explanation for this kind
of surprise, when moving your code into a servlet, is
that the support libraries you're using (particularly
the XML parser or servlet engine) are not the ones you
were using before you went to the servlet environment.
Most servlet engines have an XML parser in a server-wide
library directory, which may be used instead of the one
you supply in your web-app. Investigate your setup and
make sure the parser that IS used is namespace-aware
(e.g. Xerces) and has the feature
http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces
set to true. And isn't buggy! :)
Hope that gets you somewhere, cheers,
- Gulli
