How do you mean "not used" ? <parent xmlns="test"> <child/> </parent> In the above the child element is 'in' the default "test" namespace. <parent xmlns="test"> <child xmlns=""/> </parent> In the above the child element is in 'no' namespace at all by un-declaring the default namespace. I think what you wanted was the first case, where the child element is in the default namespace. To specify this in dom4j however you would have to specify the namespace for the "child" element, if you don't specify a namespace for the "child" element then it is assumed that the element is not 'in' a namespace (rightly/wrongly) and, when the model is serialized, it will un-declare the default namespace if necessary.
