RE: [castor-dev][XML] too many namespace declarations in element attributes

[Fredo Corleone]

Its been my observation that Castor creates xml with several unnecessary 
namespace declarations when the schema includes/imports schemas from several 
different files. I haven't had the time or need to pursue this further 
because its not breaking anything..

Hello Castor Developers!
Would be happy if one developer with knowledge of Castor would help me 
solve this issue which I suspect is a feature og the XML Source Generator

http://archive.codehaus.org/castor/user/msg00460.html
The client for our Web Services is BEA WebLogic Portal and they tell me 
that the Portal uses 1GB of memory to parse a response containing 6000 
lines.. most of the lines are attributes with new namespace declarations 
shown in the test-example above.

I haven't confirmed this myself but anyways I have to clean the response 
XML. I don't see any reason for all these namespace declarations on the 
attributes.

I will be willing to spend some time solving this issue and fix the Source 
Generator (if neede).

So.. It would be nice if someone could confirm this to be an issue with the 
Sorce Generator. Nothing would make me more happy than someone saying I'm 
using the tools in a wrong way or if there is some errors in my schema :o)

Cheers,
Are T. Tysnes
