Namespace with no prefix - how? 2003-02-04 - By Joseph Kesselman

You're on the right track.
Element responseElement = doc.createElementNS(
"http://mynamespace.org", "Response" );
The question is what to do about the default namespace declaration.
THEORETICALLY, it shouldn't be needed by most DOM processing, only when
you write the document out to a file or SAX stream or whatever, and a good
XML serializer should realize that it has to automatically create the
default namespace declaration at that time.
If you have a DOM that prototypes DOM Level 3, you can run namespace
normalization and it will create the default namespace declaration (and
reconcile any other declarations, as necessary).
Or you can explicitly create it:
String namespaceForNamespaces="http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/";
responseElement.setAttributeNS(namespaceForNamespaces,"xmlns","
http://mynamespace.org");
See also the current DOM Level 3 Working Draft, section 1.1.10
(namespaces), Document.normalizeDocument(), and appendix B.1 ("Namespace
Normalization" pseudocode).
