[Exist-open] Default namespaces omitted when creating resource

[<ch...@gm...>]

Hi,

I currently encountered a big problem. I have a DOM document that uses various
default namespaces as it is created in memory. When I save or create that
resource, the default namespace declaration gets omitted thus making the
document invalid.

I use the following Javacode to create the document.


private Resource createResource(File resource, Collection parent) throws
XMLDBException {
	try {
		Document xmlData = DOMUtil.parse(new FileReader(resource));
		XMLResource res = (XMLResource)
		parent.createResource(resource.getName(), "XMLResource");
		res.setContentAsDOM(xmlData);
		parent.storeResource(res);
		return res;
	} catch (ParserException ex) {
		ex.printStackTrace(debug);
	} catch (IOException ex) {
		ex.printStackTrace(debug);
	}
	return null;
}

The XML file is attached. After storing, the end of the file looks like this:

<qr:searchResult>
   <date
xmlns="http://www.staffme.de/xml/ns/domain/employer/requirementSearchResult">2006-12-12T18:41:22</date>
   <matches>1</matches>
   <consultant>
     <id>c2a387df.xml</id>
     <rank>457</rank>
     <cv>
       <id>c2d31e63.xml</id>
     </cv>
   </consultant>
  </qr:searchResult>
</qr:qualificationRequirement>

You see, only the first occurence of the xmlns declaration is left putting the
folling elements into the empty namespace. I am using eXist version 1.1.1.

Thanks, Fabio
