Using:
Document doc = new DocumentImpl();
should be sufficient to create a new document under Xerces, although the syntax using the DocumentBuilder will work. Is the setNamespaceAware flag true on default with the BuilderFactory? I find that I only use the DocumentBuilder/DocumentBuilderFactory when I want to "load" the DOM tree using the DOMParser.
NB: The approach using the DocumentBuilder/DocumentBuilderFactory is under the javax.xml.parsers package and as such is probably more globally supported than the DocumentImpl which is under the org.apache.xerces.dom package. However, if you are only going to use xerces, might as well utilize their implementation :-)

Hello Ren�,
try this:
DocumentBuilderFactory dbFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder db = dbFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document document = db.newDocument();
Element root = document.createElementNS("MyNameSapce", "System");
root.setPrefix("vst");
root.setAttribute ("xmlns:vst", "MyNameSpace");
...
document.appendChild (root);
Element error = document.createElementNS("MyNameSpace", "error");
error.setPrefix("vst");
root.appendChild(error);
