[jdom-interest] Building document with element containing namespace reference without declaring namespace

[J S]

I would like to build a document from this string

"<xml><javacustomtag:GetName/>  is my name</xml>"

The problem I run into is that I get an exception
about undeclared namespace.  I realise that I could
declare the namespace at the start of this string but
on output this changes the javacustom tag to 

<javacustomtag:GetName
xmlns:javacustomtag="whateverideclareditas"/>

and when I have this output in a jsp it is not
interpreted correctly as a java custom tag.

Any Ideas,

Thanks in Advance,

Jo
