Namespaces

[Hilary Bannister]

Can anyone spot what I am doing wrong.  I am trying to transform an xml file
with a xsl file and output the result as a xml file.  Somehow it is losing
the namespace declarations at the appropriate element, e.g. it is producing
this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<addresses deltaxml:delta="modify"><comment deltaxml:delta="add"
not-ordered="stringToken"><stringToken>!This comment has been
added!</stringToken></comment></addresses>

where it should be producing:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<addresses xmlns:deltaxml="http://www.deltaxml.com/dtds/delta";
deltaxml:delta="modify"><comment deltaxml:delta="add"
not-ordered="stringToken"><stringToken>!This comment has been
added!</stringToken></comment></addresses>

Does anyone know a fix?

It is even true for just processing the file through the XMLReader without
applying the transformation.

           TransformerFactory tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
            // Determine whether the TransformerFactory supports The use uf
SAXSource
            // and SAXResult
            if (tFactory.getFeature(SAXSource.FEATURE) &&
tFactory.getFeature(SAXResult.FEATURE))


                // Cast the TransformerFactory to SAXTransformerFactory.
                SAXTransformerFactory saxTFactory = ((SAXTransformerFactory)
tFactory);
               // Create an XMLFilter for each stylesheet.
                try {
                    xmlFilter = saxTFactory.newXMLFilter(new
StreamSource("input.xsl"));
             } catch (TransformerConfigurationException tce) {
                 throw new InternalError("Cannot transform Input Filter");
             }
        }}
        // Create an XMLReader.
         try {
             parser=
XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader(Properties.PARSERNAME);
         } catch (SAXException se) {
             throw new InternalError("Cannot Invoke SAX reader");
         }

        // XML reader outputs SAX events to the serializer.
        Serializer serializer = SerializerFactory.getSerializer

(OutputProperties.getDefaultMethodProperties("xml"));
        try {
            serializer.setWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(new FileOutputStream
("fred.xml",UTF-8"));
         } catch (IOException ioe)

             throw new FatalException("IOException when creating:
fred.xml");         }
        try {
                // xmlFilter uses the XMLReader as its reader.
                xmlFilter.setParent(parser);
                xmlFilter.setContentHandler(serializer.asContentHandler());

xmlFilter.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces",true);

xmlFilter.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/namespace-prefixes",false)
;
        }
     } catch (IOException ioe)

         throw new FatalException("IOException when creating output
contentHandler: " );
     } catch (SAXNotRecognizedException snre) {
         throw new InternalError("Cannot instantiate LexicalHandler");
     } catch (SAXNotSupportedException snse) {
         throw new InternalError("Cannot instantiate LexicalHandler");
     }

xmlFilter.parse(new InputSource(new FileReader ("input.xml")));
