Namespace declarations are lost on transformation to DOMResult

I have a problem with Xalan 2.7. Have a look at the following snippet:

<a:a1 xmlns:a="http://a"
       xmlns:b="http://b"
       xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
  <a:a2 xsi:type="b:B"/>
</a:a1>

As you can see, the value of the attribute 'xsi:type' contains a namespace 
prefix, which is declared in the root element.


When I read this document as a StreamSource or SAXSource and transform it 
with Xalan into a DOMResult, the namespaces are invalid because the 
namespace declaration 'xmlns:b="http://b"' is lost:

<a:a1 xmlns:a="http://a">
   <a:a2 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
         xsi:type="b:B"/>
</a:a1>


When I try to read the document as a DOMSource and try to transform it into 
a DOMResult, an exception occurs ('NAMESPACE_ERR: An attempt is made to 
create or change an object in a way which is incorrect with regard to 
namespaces.').

I attached the example code and output.

Can somebody tell me if I'm doing something wrong,
or if this is a bug in Xalan?

Thanks in advance,
Christian

Hi Christian,

This looks like a bug to me.  Note that your test program works for all
sources except StAXSource if you use XSLTC instead of the interpretive
processor (org.apache.xalan.xsltc.trax.TransformerFactoryImpl rather than
org.apache.xalan.processor.TransformerFactoryImpl).

Could you please open a bug in JIRA?
