OK, I chased down what was the actual problem that got me into that mistake
(thanks, BTW, Bill)...
For the same document:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE JavaXML:xmlrpc-config SYSTEM
"E:\projects\XML-Book\WEB-INF\conf\XMLRPC.dtd">
<JavaXML:xmlrpc-config
xmlns:JavaXML="http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/javaxml";>
<!-- Configuration Information for Server and Clients -->
<JavaXML:hostname>localhost</JavaXML:hostname>
<JavaXML:port type="unprotected">85</JavaXML:port>
</JavaXML:xmlrpc-config>
The method getNamespaceURI() on the Document Node, the root Element Node, or
any other node, returns that the namespace URI is null. This is
incorrect... I also tried setting the default namespace
(xmlns="http://myUrl.com";) and then removing the JavaXML namespace prefix
from some elements. Those elements also return that the namespace URI is
null, also incorrect.
1) Is there anything in using org.apache.xerces.parsers.DOMParser that has
to be done to ensure namespace support?
2) Is this a bug?
Thanks,
Brett
