Undesirable Namespace Prefixes

[Lea Anne Dobbins <la...@raytheon.com>]

OK, I've got a good one here ...

I have 3 schemas that all define types in the same namespace, but define 
it as the default namespace with no prefix.  All three schemas start with 
this schema definition:

<xsd:schema targetNamespace="parser.xml.server.mm.stss.rsc.com" 
elementFormDefault="qualified" 
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" 
xmlns="parser.xml.server.mm.stss.rsc.com">

I created my XMLBeans classes using 1.0.3.  I then wrote some code to 
generate 2 of the documents from 2 of the schemas.  They use an 
instantiation of the third as input.  The input document was being 
generated the "old fashioned" way, with a DOM parser.

I then decided to re-write the generation of the input document using 
XMLBeans, since I had all the classes already generated.  However, I'm 
getting an arbitrary namespace prefix on all my tags!

I'm using the same method to generate all 3 documents - just 
xmlDoc.toString();  Why would two of the documents come out with a default 
namespace declaration, and the third with an arbitrary prefix?  This has 
me baffled ...

Here's what XMLBeans generates for the documents that are OK:

<TaskCompletionStatus xmlns="parser.xml.server.mm.stss.rsc.com">
.
.
.
</TaskCompletionStatus>

Here's what I'm getting for my "input" document:

<par:MissionSchedule xmlns:par="parser.xml.server.mm.stss.rsc.com">
.
.
.
</par:MissionSchedule>

I want them both to have the same default namespace declaration!

I tried doing the setUseDefaultNamespace() and the 
setSaveAggresiveNamespaces(), and I tried mapping the 
"parser.xml.server.mm.stss.rsc.com" to "" as well, using a hashmap and the 
setSaveSuggestedPrefixes(names) option.  I used the xmlText(opts) to 
create the string.

It gets even more interesting ... I read in the document with all the 
"par:" prefixes, and generated documents without...

Does anybody have any ideas?  This output document cannot have any 
prefixes on it - my customer isn't using xmlbeans.  I'm about to switch 
back to the "old fashioned" method if I can't get it to work.
