Importing, and exporting XML. Default namespaces

[Sandor Spruit <sa...@cs.uu.nl>]

Hello,

I just examined the Jackrabbit repository contents after importing a 
document with a default namespace (generated by an application that I 
need to work with)

It looks as though Jackrabbit adds its own 'ns' prefix in the absence of 
a prefix in the original document. This prefix pops-up when the document 
gets exported through the 'session.exportDocumentView'. So, any 
subsequent processing steps (XSLT) need to be aware of the prefix.

Is there a way to control what prefix Jackrabbit assigns to XML nodes in 
the default namespace?

I may need to import XML documents from several sources, each with their 
own default namespace; I'd like to distinguish between them, and assign 
a meaningful prefix.

regards, Sandor

You can register the namespace before importing your XML content. See
NamespaceRegistry.registerNamespace() [1].
