Why is there an extra attribute which isn't displayed?
Hi,
When I run the following Element through the canonicalizer my test code
finds
an additional attribute is added (xmlns=""). However, the output text
doesn't
contain this additional attribute. Can some kind soul explain why this is
happening?
...
public final static String XML_NS = "http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace";
public final static String XMLNS_NS = "http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/";
public final static String SAMLP_NS =
"urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.0:protocol";
public final static String SAML_NS =
"urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.0:assertion";
public final static String XMLSIG_NS = "http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#";
...
Element r = doc.createElementNS(XML.SAMLP_NS, "samlp:Request");
r.setAttributeNS(XMLNS_NS, "xmlns:samlp", XML.SAMLP_NS);
r.setAttributeNS(XMLNS_NS, "xmlns:saml", XML.SAML_NS);
r.setAttributeNS(XMLNS_NS, "xmlns:ds", XML.XMLSIG_NS);
r.setAttributeNS(null, "MajorVersion", "1");
r.setAttributeNS(null, "MinorVersion", "0");
r.setAttributeNS(null, "RequestID", requestId);
SimpleDateFormat formatter = new
SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss'Z'");
formatter.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT"));
r.setAttributeNS(null, "IssueInstant", formatter.format(issueInstant));
...
TIA,
David

Hi,
that's a 'trick' to get Xalan handle all XPathes for namespace nodes
correctly. In XMLUtils.circumventBug2650(Document), I do replicate all
namespace 'attributes', even those which are do undefine the default
namespace. This namespace explosion is necessary in order to circumvent the
Xalan bug which is documented under
<http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2650>.
