[jira] Commented: (WSCOMMONS-278) Need OMElement.getNamespaceURI() convenience method

Andreas Veithen commented on WSCOMMONS-278:
-------------------------------------------

Saliya,

The solution proposed in your patch is invalid. The reason is that DOOM's ElementImpl implements both org.w3c.dom.Element and OMElement. Your proposed specification of getNamespaceURI clashes with the definition of Element#getNamespaceURI. This means that DOOM would either violate the DOM contract or Axiom.

BTW, why using the String literal "null" instead of the null value?

> It is extremely *in*convenient to constantly have to type element.getNamespace().getNamespaceURI() in order to simply get the String namespace from an OMElement. :)  We should add a convenience method OMElement.getNamespaceURI().
