Thank Frank for clarifying "element ref" mapping. I'm working on ChangeSummary StAX writer, there're many places Properties/elements need to be outputed as XML, such as ChangeSummary.Setting.
Supposing we have such Properties definition: <element xmlns:global="" ref="global:element1"/> <element name="element1" ... I plan to output XML like these *respectively* <global:element1 xmlns:global="" ... <element1 ... First, am I planning right please? Second if I plan right, given a Property "element1", how can I distinguish local element (<element name="element1") from global element without NameSpace (<element xmlns:global="" ref="global:element1"/>) please? Thanks. -- Yang ZHONG
