Where are attribute's namespace prefixes after serialization ??

[Olivier Moïses <om...@nordnet.fr>]

Hi all,

I try since weeks to use Axis 1.1 and ebxmlms from cecid 
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/ebxmlms/).
In fact, when I link my ebxmlms code with jaas.jar from axis-1.1 
(instead of jaas-api/ jaas-ri from sun), the serialization process fail, 
and my existing code does'nt work.

In fact, somewhere in the message, ebxmlms wait for this :

<eb:Reference eb:id="payload1" xlink:type="simple" xlink:href="cid:payload1" .....


but Axis serialize this 

<eb:Reference id="payload1" type="simple" href="cid:payload1" ...

Attribute prefixes are missing.

After many code introspections, I finally found a way to patch the Axis code.

In class org.apache.axis.encoding.SerializationContext, function startElement, I modify original code :

                if (uri != null && uri.length() > 0) {
                    if (qname.length() == 0) {
                        // If qname isn't set, generate one
                        prefix = getPrefixForURI(uri);
                    } else {
                        // If it is, make sure the prefix looks reasonable.
                        int idx = qname.indexOf(':');
-------------------------------------------------------------------
original code
                        if (idx > -1) {
                            prefix = qname.substring(0, idx);
                            prefix = getPrefixForURI(uri,
                                                     prefix, true);
			}
-------------------------------------------------------------------
patched code
                        if (idx > -1) 
                            prefix = qname.substring(0, idx);
                        prefix = getPrefixForURI(uri,
                                                     prefix, true);
-------------------------------------------------------------------

                    }
                    if (prefix.length() > 0) {
                        qname = prefix + ':' + attributes.getLocalName(i);
                    } else {
                        qname = attributes.getLocalName(i);
                    }
                } 

BUT i am not sure to be on the right way.

Is there any way in axis to force usage of namespace's attributes ? Why are the prefixes not here ?
The same problem occurs with axes 1.2 beta.

Thanks,
