Probably a simple question: avoiding xmlns="" on each element...

Hello,   I’m just starting to use Xerces to manage (parse and generate) XML file. I use Xerces 2.4 to generate XML file.   My code is very common, I think:   …       Document xmldoc = builder.newDocument();         Element root = xmldoc.createElement("NewNETP");         root.setAttribute("xmlns", "XXX");       root.setAttribute("xmlns:MF","XXX");       root.setAttribute("xmlns:xsi" , "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance");       root.setAttribute("xsi:schemaLocation", "XXX ./new_netp.xsd"); …     Element elt = xmldoc.createElement("CompanyName");     elt.appendChild(xmldoc.createTextNode(netp.getCompanyName())); …     The problem: XML file generated contain « XMLNS="" » on each element! What’s wrong?     <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <NewNETP xmlns="XXX"     xmlns:MF="XXX"     xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"     xsi:schemaLocation="XXX ./new_netp.xsd" CreationDate="2003-08-06T13:07:05">     <CompanyName xmlns="">TEST</CompanyName>     <CompanyAddress xmlns="">test</CompanyAddress>     <CompanyEmail xmlns="">test</CompanyEmail> …     Thank you,   David DERUMIER
