Force the default namespace of an XML fragment
Hi
I'm writing a method to set the default namespace of a given XML fragment:
public static XmlObject setDefaultNamespace(XmlObject xmlFragment,
String namespace) {
XmlCursor eltCursor = xmlFragment.newCursor();
if (eltCursor.currentTokenType().isStartdoc())
eltCursor.toNextToken();
String defaultNs = eltCursor.namespaceForPrefix("");
if (defaultNs == null || defaultNs.length() == 0) {
System.out.println("No default namespace detected!");
eltCursor.insertNamespace("", namespace);
}
eltCursor.dispose();
return xmlFragment;
}
The call to "eltCursor.insertNamespace("", namespace);" does not work, it
doesn't set the default namespace in the result returned. I observed that it
works only when the prefix is set (eg. eltCursor.insertNamespace("pre",
namespace);).
What am I doing wrong ?
Thanks in advance for any help
Pascal
