> Key: AXIOM-372
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIOM-372
> Project: Axiom
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: API, DOOM, LLOM
> Affects Versions: 1.2.12
> Reporter: Andreas Veithen
> Assignee: Andreas Veithen
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 1.2.13

>
> According to the Namespaces in XML 1.0 (Second Edition) specification, it is
> illegal to bind a namespace prefix to the empty namespace URI. Only the
> default namespace can have an empty URI:
> "[Definition: If the attribute name matches PrefixedAttName, then the NCName
> gives the namespace prefix, used to associate element and attribute names
> with the namespace name in the attribute value in the scope of the element to
> which the declaration is attached. In such declarations, the namespace name
> may not be empty. ]"
> (Note that this constraint was dropped in the Namespaces in XML 1.1
> specification)
> OMElement#declareNamespace doesn't enforce this constraint and namespace
> declarations that violate this requirement are silently dropped during
> serialization (by code in OMSerializerUtil#isAssociated). This behavior is
> problematic because it may result in subtle issues such as unbound namespace
> prefixes.
> The serialization code should throw an exception if the object model contains
> an invalid namespace declaration. We should also make sure that Axiom itself
> never generates such invalid namespace declarations. Indeed, the code in
> OMSerializerUtil#isAssociated has the following comment:
> "Cannot associate a prefix with an unqualifed name. However sometimes axiom
> creates a fake prefix name if xmns="" is not in effect."
> If this is true, then Axiom needs to be fixed.
