Better control of namespace prefixes used
-----------------------------------------
Key: XMLBEANS-178
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XMLBEANS-178
Project: XMLBeans
Type: Improvement
Components: Cursor
Reporter: Radu Preotiuc-Pietro
Fix For: TBD
There have been a number of messages asking for a better control of namespace
declarations inserted by XmlBeans when saving documents, than offered by
XmlOptions.setSaveSuggestedPrefixes().
One issue is the use of xsi:type: when XmlBeans needs to insert an xsi:type
attribute it needs to pick a prefix for the value of xsi:type and at that point
the setSaveSuggestedPrefixes() are not available. Once the prefix is part of
the attribute value, it can no longer be changed (unless directly by user) so
the prefix declaration will end up in the final document, which may be
undesireable.
One other thing that was suggested was to pick the default prefix more
intelligently, for example use the prefix used in the Schema to declare
components in that namespace, but that's trickier to do (you can declare QNames
without using prefixes) and also involves changes in the binary format.
