Serializer problem (Xerces 1.3.1)

[Julian Reschke <ju...@gmx.de>]

Hi,

I'm trying to serialize a document that has been built using the DOM-Level-2
namespace aware methods:

  public static void main(String[] args)
    throws java.io.IOException {
    main main1 = new main();

    Document doc = new org.apache.xerces.dom.DocumentImpl ();

    Element root = doc.createElementNS ("ns1", "bar");
    doc.appendChild (root);
    root.setAttributeNS ("ns2", "attr", "val");

    org.apache.xml.serialize.OutputFormat of =
      new org.apache.xml.serialize.OutputFormat (doc, "xml", true);
    java.io.StringWriter out = new java.io.StringWriter();

    org.apache.xml.serialize.XMLSerializer ser =
      new org.apache.xml.serialize.XMLSerializer(out, of);

    ser.serialize (doc);

    System.out.println (out.toString());
  }

The result is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="xml"?>
<bar attr="val"/>

However, this is clearly wrong, it should be something like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="xml"?>
<bar xmlns="ns1" prefix:attr="val" xmlns:prefix="ns2" />

I reported the problem three months ago, but received no feedback:
<http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=596>.

Is there something wrong with my code, or does the serializer indeed not
able to serialize namespace declarations properly? I find this surprising
because the changelog for XMLSerializer.java shows that there have been
fixes applied regarding namespace handling.

Any feedback appreciated,

Julian
