Just wanted to let everyone know that Xerces2 beta 2 seems to have the same issue with namespaces as previous versions of Xercers that result in the following exception being thrown.
Unable to resolve namespace URI for 'ns2'. Sorry if this has already been posted to the list. Chad La Joie "It is true that you never know what Middleware Services you have until it is gone, but it is also IS&C - Virginia Tech true that you never know what you've been missing until it arrives."
