[jdom-interest] problem xmlns namespace

[Philipp Gröschler]

Not 100% solution, but try this:

<code>

Element rootElement = new Element("document");
Namespace ns = Namespace.getNamespace ("xf",
"http://apache.org/cocoon/xmlform/1.0");
Attribute root_ns = new Attribute ("narf", "value", ns);
rootElement.setAttribute (root_ns);

</code>

That would create an additional argument "narf" (or whatever name you
choose) which hangs in there and does just nothing. The result would be

<document xmlns:xf="http://apache.org/cocoon/xmlform/1.0"
xf:narf="value" />

Maybe you want a xf-argument in the <document> start tag, then you can
go this way. This would generate nearly the xml that you want, but I
don't think this document is well formed. Normally, the namespace
declaration should be in the first element that uses the matching
prefix. (Correct me if I'm wrong)
