xmlns="" added to every literal element instance

           Summary: xmlns="" added to every literal element instance
           Product: Axis
           Version: beta-2
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Serialization/Deserialization
        AssignedTo: axis-dev@xml.apache.org
        ReportedBy: scheu@us.ibm.com


Here is an email that I received from Dirk WollScheid.

The failure only occurs with the literal encoding style.  Dirk suggested
a patch to the serialization code that prevents the xmlns="" from being
generated. (My feeling is that this hides the real problem.) 

---------------------------------
Note from Dik:
 
When I tell Axis to use literal encoding I get this output for my test case:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<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>
  <method1 xmlns="urn:myNamespace">
   <testParam xsi:type="ns1:Element" xmlns:ns1="http://xml.apache.org/xml-soap">
    <xsd1:A xmlns:xsd1="urn:myNamespace" xmlns="">
     <xsd1:B xmlns="">
      <xsd1:C xmlns="">foo bar</xsd1:C>
     </xsd1:B>
    </xsd1:A>
   </testParam>
  </method1>
 </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

Somehow Axis inserts these dummy default namespace declarations - xmlns=""  in 
there. Here's my updated test case. I also tried if things change when I qualidy 
the childs of A, but it doesn't seem to matter.

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		MessageContext msgContext = new MessageContext(new 
AxisServer());
/*
		String req =
			"<xsd1:A xmlns:xsd1='urn:myNamespace'>"
				+ "<B>"
				+ "<C>foo bar</C>"
				+ "</B>"
				+ "</xsd1:A>";
*/				
				
		String req =
			"<xsd1:A xmlns:xsd1='urn:myNamespace'>"
				+ "<xsd1:B>"
				+ "<xsd1:C>foo bar</xsd1:C>"
				+ "</xsd1:B>"
				+ "</xsd1:A>";

		try {			
			StringWriter stringWriter=new StringWriter();
			StringReader reqReader = new StringReader(req);			
			InputSource reqSource = new InputSource(reqReader);
			
			DocumentBuilder xdb = 
DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance().newDocumentBuilder();
			Document document = xdb.parse(reqSource );

			String msgString = null;

			SOAPEnvelope msg = new SOAPEnvelope();
			RPCParam arg1 = new RPCParam("urn:myNamespace", 
"testParam", document.getFirstChild());
			arg1.setXSITypeGeneration(false);			

			RPCElement body = new RPCElement("urn:myNamespace", 
"method1", new Object[] { arg1 });
			msg.addBodyElement(body);
			body.setEncodingStyle(Constants.URI_LITERAL_ENC);

			SerializationContext context = new 
SerializationContextImpl(stringWriter, msgContext);
			msg.output(context);

			msgString = stringWriter.toString();
			System.out.println(msgString);

		} catch (Exception e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
	}

Can you please have a look at this too? If it seems wrong to you too I can open 
a bugzilla bug.
