Hmmmm. I just tried this with XalanJ 2.1.0 and it worked fine. Here is
my input XML:
<foo:bar xmlns:foo="http://dummyNamespace.com";>
<inner>
Text node
</inner>
</foo:bar>
Can you please post your input XML and the results that you're receiving
that lead you to believe that this is not working.
Thanks,
Gary
