How can I write an XML string in Stax without duplicating namespaces

[David Thielen]

Part way through creating an XML file with Stax I have some XML in the form of a String. I write this to the Stax output.

It all works great except namespaces used in the passed in XML, that are defined in the root element, are duplicated again in the inner nodes. 

I know this is legal, but it's cluttered. Is there any way to avoid this?

Detailed example here (StackOverflow).

thanks - dave

If there is already an existing valid binding (*) for Namespace URI, that should be used. So Woodstox should already handle this, if (and only if) generator has "namespace repairing"

mode enabled. If behavior differs, filing a bug report would make sense.

(*) attributes can not use default namespace binding, for example; but this example used explicit prefixes not default namespace

Hi;

 

The namespace repair option seems to screw up the use of default namespaces which we have also. Is there way to get this where some attributes can use the default namespace?

 

We are writing DOCX files and so we need to use the namespaces of the XML files in the DOCX file.

Attributes never use the default namespace; this is XML limitation by specification, not Woodstox limitation.

Non-prefixed attributes always belong to "empty" namespace, regardless of binding of the default namespace.

That is, their namespace URI is "". Default namespace binding only applies to elements.

 

We are writing DOCX files and so we need to use the namespaces of the XML files in the DOCX file.

I am not sure what you mean by this.
