[jdom-interest] Namespace handling ?

[Christophe D. Laprun]

Hi all,


Can someone help me with this, please ? I am not sure if it is JDOM
specific though... I tried to put namespace-prefix to false in
SAXBuilder with
parser.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/namespace-prefixes",
false) but it didn't change anything and I don't understand why.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a lot.
