Why dropping namespaces when soap encoding is used?

[Jun Qian <jq...@hotmail.com>]

Hi,

Can someone please explain why when soap encoding is used, the instance document generated by XmlBeans' SampleXmlUtil drops all the namespaces, even if the schema says elementFormDefault="qualified"?


>From SampleXmlUtil.java:

        if (_soapEnc)
            xmlc.insertElement(element.getName().getLocalPart()); // soap encoded? drop namespaces.
        else
            xmlc.insertElement(element.getName().getLocalPart(), element.getName().getNamespaceURI());


Schema example:
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
            targetNamespace="http://foo.org/schema/test"
            xmlns:tns="http://foo.org/schema/test"
            elementFormDefault="qualified">
    <xsd:complexType name="idType">
        <xsd:sequence>
            <xsd:element name="firstname" type="xsd:string"/>
            <xsd:element name="lastname" type="xsd:string"></xsd:element>
        </xsd:sequence>
    </xsd:complexType>
    <xsd:element name="contact">
        <xsd:complexType>
            <xsd:sequence>
                <xsd:element name="id" type="tns:idType"/>
            </xsd:sequence>
        </xsd:complexType>
    </xsd:element>
</xsd:schema>


In the instance document generated by SampleXmlUtil, if soap encoding is used, then the generated firstname and lastname elements are not ns qualified. On the other hand, if soap encoding is not used, then the generated firstname and lastname elements are ns qualified as expected.

Thanks,
Jun
