Help - how to create element with proper namespace 2003-03-05 - By Sander Bos
Dear Peter,

You used createElement in your example, but that is actually not a good
idea in a namespace aware environment (that's hidden somewhere in the
DOM specification), so you should use
Element root = doc.createElementNS(XXX, "xxx:requestSummary");
where XXX is a String-variable that represents a URL for the prefix
'xxx'. Since you specify a prefix that may not be null.
By the way, if you want requestSummary to be in the urn:expertmgmt
namespace, then using the xxx prefix is not actually useful here as you
defined it as the default namespace, then you would use:
Element root = doc.createElementNS("urn:expertmgmt",
"requestSummary");
(if you want to use the xxx-prefix, you should use xxx:requestSummary as
element-name and xmlns:xxx as attribute-name)
Kind regards,
--Sander.
