AXIOM - remove namespace

[Alexander Rosemann]

Hi,

I'm trying to remove a namespace from a SOAPBody element. Unfortunately, 
without any luck so far. Here is what I do:

OMElement request = ...
OMNamespace ns = OMAbstractFactory.getOMFactory().createOMNamespace("", "");
request.declareNamespace(ns);

Though, when I print the request the namespace is still the there.

Thanks in advance,
Alex
