And I repeat: I don't think you understand how namespaces work. JDOM
is giving you what you need and what you want, not what you think you
want. Consider this document:
<cprt:root xmlns:cprt="http://www.myserver.com/schema">
<test>Hello</test>
</cprt:root>
The test element is *not* in the http://www.myserver.com/schema
namespace. It is no namespace at all.
Your latest example suggests you are using the W3C XML schema
language. In particular, I strongly suspect you are using unqualified
local elements. Don't do that. This is a very confusing and poorly
designed part of a very confusing and poorly designed schema
language. Set elementFormDefault="qualified" in your schema.
Remember, the schema has *nothing* to do with which elements are in
which namespaces. That is completely determined by namespace
declarations and prefixes.
