The subjects says most of it. I am trying to serialize the results of stylesheet transformations and some xmlns declarations are going missing.
For example, if I am serializing the following markup: <c:a xmlns:b="http://somenamespace.com/"; xmlns:c="http://othernamespace.com/"; b:d="e"/> then I get the following: <c:a xmlns:c="http://othernamespace.com/"; b:d="e"/> The serialize method that I have written is: public void serialize( OutputStream outputStream, Document document) throws Exception { java.util.Properties xmlProps = OutputPropertiesFactory.getDefaultMethodProperties("xml"); xmlProps.setProperty("indent", "yes"); xmlProps.setProperty("standalone", "no"); Serializer serializer = SerializerFactory.getSerializer(xmlProps); serializer.setOutputStream(outputStream); serializer.asDOMSerializer().serialize(document); } The document being serialized has always been parsed by a namespace aware DOM builder or created by a transformer applied to a namespace aware DOM and created from a stylesheet parsed in using a namespace aware DOM builder. The nearest archived message that I have come across is: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/xml-security-dev/200409.mbox/% [EMAIL PROTECTED] but that relates to XMLSerializer. Any guidance on what is going on would be very welcome! Geoff Shuetrim
