--------------------------------------

Correct me if i am wrong, but I think it is perfectly legal to have empty namespace for no default namespace according to the namespace naming rules.

> I've discovered a bug in the "addDocument(org.w3c.dom.Document)" method of the javax.xml.SOAPBody class.  Empty default namespace attributes (xmlns="") are added to any elements that do not specify a default namespace of their own.  
> Before I submit something to JIRA I'd like to make sure that I'm not just missing something basic. To see the problem yourself all you have to do is create an "org.w3c.Document" that when written to System.out looks as follows:
> <find_business generic="2.0" xmlns="urn:uddi-org:api_v2" operator="Apache.org">
>   <businessInfos>
>     <businessInfo 
> 	businessKey="4FFA64E0-71A6-11D9-A4E0-CA68EE9CC1F6"/>
>   </businessInfos>
> </find_business>
> Then add this "org.w3c.Document" to a "javax.xml.soap.SOAPBody" using the "addDocument(org.w3c.dom.Document)" method.  When this new SOAP message is written to System.out the resulting XML looks as follows: 
> <soapenv:Envelope 
> 	xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" 
> 	xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" 
> 	xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
>  <soapenv:Body>
>   <find_business generic="2.0" xmlns="urn:uddi-org:api_v2" operator="Apache.org">
>    <businessInfos xmlns="">
>     <businessInfo 
> 	businessKey="4FFA64E0-71A6-11D9-A4E0-CA68EE9CC1F6" xmlns=""/>
>    </businessInfos>
>   </find_business>
>  </soapenv:Body>
> </soapenv:Envelope>
> Notice the empty default namespace attributes (xmlns="") in the "businessInfos" and "businessInfo" elements?  This empty default namespace attribute will appear for every child element of "find_business" element that does not have an xmlns attribute already.
> I will post sample code as a follow up (FindBusiness) that will demonstrate this.  I'm using Axis 1.2rc2 and I didn't see anything related to this in JIRA already.
