LSSerializerImpl adds redundant xmlns:xml namespace bindings.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Key: XALANJ-2409
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XALANJ-2409
Project: XalanJ2
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Serialization
Reporter: Chris Simmons
Priority: Minor
Appologies if I'm logging this against the wrong component. I'm using the
LSSerializerImpl bundled with xerces 2.9.0 which I believe is actually drawn
from the Xalan project nowadays.
We switched over when the xerces serializers were deprecated but found tha the
xalan serializer insists on adding bindings for the xml namespace. I (and the
xerces serializer) believe that this is not necessary - the xml namespace is
built-in.
This resulted in our XML being littered with thousands of needless
xmlns:xml=... attributes. We've worked around this by making sure we put one
on the document root. I'd like to see these attributes not serialized.
I'll attach a test showing this behviour shortly. It shows that xerces didn't
add them but xalan does.
