doc.xml(force_nsdecls=xmlcreation.vinoxml_NSS)

[Werner]

Hi Uche and Luis Miguel,

I start a new thread instead continuing on the old one.

I have it resolved by changing my createXMLQuery to this:

def createXMLquery():
"""
Create a bindery instance, to be used for e.g. GWS vinoXML query"""
doc_header = """<query
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns="http://www.vinoxml.org/XMLschema"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"></query>"""

doc = xmlu.bindery.parse(doc_header)

return doc

That gives me the name spaces as Global Wine Stocks (GWS) wants/expects
them, so much easier/nicer then the "force_nsdecls".

Only "hick" is that I still need to remove 'xmlns=""' from the string:

docString = doc.xml_encode()
qs = docString.replace('xmlns=""', '')

Otherwise GWS gives me a "Query not well formed" error.

My question, is the GWS XML parser not standard compliant or ...?

Yep, this works.  You can also create namespace declarations:

elem.xmlns_attributes[prefix] = uri

Only "hick" is that I still need to remove 'xmlns=""' from the string:

        docString = doc.xml_encode()
        qs = docString.replace('xmlns=""', '')

Are you creating elements in the document which are not in the http://www.vinoxml.org/XMLschema NS?  That's the only thing I can think of that would lead to sprinkling of 'xmlns=""'.

BTW working with MicroXML makes me wonder how I tolerated namespaces for so long!

No, or at least not that I am aware off.  Did a small test and don't have it in there, so will do some more testing and see why it shows up in the app.

Will get back on findings.
