My
company is using Xerces 1.2.3 (J) for its XML parser. We are implementing
WebDav.
The
parser calls my function when a new element is
encountered:
‘startElement(
String p_namespaceName, String p_localName, String raw, Attributes
p_attrs)
When I
use the following XML:
<?xml
version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<propfind
xmnls="DAV:" >
<prop>
<creationdate/>
</prop>
</propfind>
I
expect “p_namespaceName” to be “DAV:” for “prop”, “creationdate” and
“propfind”, because I have declared the default namespace “xmnls=”DAV:”. However, my system is giving me an
empty string for the namespace.
So I can’t tell whether a default namespace was correctly used, or the
element is a part of the null namespace (which would be
illegal).
Is
this a known problem, or is there something I should be doing
differently?
