Problem in using Document.createElementNS() method

[Yasir Khan]

Hi,

I am using Xerces 2.5.0 to create the following document:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<myns:root xmlns:myns="http://www.ascertia.com/xml/";>
   <myns:element1>text1</myns:element1>
</myns:root>


I m writting the following code to produce above document

    Document doc = new DocumentImpl();
    Element root = doc.createElementNS("http://www.ascertia.com/xml/";,
"myns:root");
    Element element1 = doc.createElement("myns:element1");
    element1.appendChild(doc.createTextNode("text1"));
    root.appendChild(element1);
    doc.appendChild(root);

    Writer writer = new Writer();    /*Writer is the class provided in
Xerces DOM Samples*/
    try{
      writer.setOutput(System.out, "UTF-8");
      writer.write(doc);
    }
    catch (Exception ex) {
      ex.printStackTrace();
    }


The output of the above code is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<myns:root>
   <element1>text1</element1>
</myns:root>

The namespace declation i.e. xmlns:myns="http://www.ascertia.com/xml/"; is
missing in the output.

I couldn't figure out that what is wrong in my code. Please tell me where I
am doing wrong and what is the right way to create the above mentioned
target document. Thanx

Regards,

Yasir Khan
