It makes a big difference. What you have written was not an elementTemplate element (i.e. an element with localname="elementTemplate" and with namespace="http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/schema/configuration";), it was an element with localname="elementTemplate" and with namespace="http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/schema/iniva";. For performance reasons, XXE does not fully check the validity of its configuration files at startup time. I suggest that after starting XXE, you load <your_config>.xxe into it to see if this file is valid. With the elementTemplate you wrote, it was not valid. > Does it mean for instance that I don't have to continue prefixing > commands like this: > {http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/schema/iniva}chapter? No. What I suggest is purely local to cfg:elementTemplate elements. The ugly notation is only used in the parameter string of a command because the parameter string of a command having a command specific semantic (unknown at XXE configuration file parse time), it is difficult to use the prefix mechanism.
