[jdom-interest] Attribute and Namespace

[Tom M. Yeh]

In my test case, JDOM uses SAXBuilder and then SAXHandler, while DOM uses the Xerces DOM builder. So, the result might be different.

I apologize that I didn't try the latest code, before asking questions. After browsing the source codes, I found the problem "shall" be fixed because Brett has commented out statements at line 496-498. However, this fix looks odd to me, because it introduces a side effect: adding an extra namespace to Element.additionalNamespace. Won't it be better by replacing line 528 as follows?

attribute = factory.attribute(attLocalName, atts.getValue(i),
element.getNamespace(attPrefix));

JDOM uses Xerces (or some other parser) so your statement is a little
odd.  It might be that JDOM differs from the DOM built by Xerces. 
Before we get into that, have you tried this with the latest code in
CVS?
