[jdom-interest] Namespace issues, et al.

[Malachi de AElfweald]

Ok, I misunderstood you guys. I thought you were saying that I had to 
change all that
to <jbase:request jbase:session=""/>. The point I was trying to make is 
that it is perfectly valid
(though my personal Schema says not to allow it) for <jbase:request 
yourname:session=""/>. What I was
trying to say about the spec was that <request session=""/> puts 'session' 
into the namespace of the 'request'
element (as opposed to the 'yourname' namespace above), thus not needing to 
explicitely put jbase:session...

As far as your question, you can read it, but not create or validate it.

If you try to create that document, you get one of two scenarios...
1) every element says xmlns="http://www.temporal-wave.com/spec" (thus, lots 
of overhead over the network)
2) the top element says that, the next one says xmlns="", and then 
everything inside that doesn't show xmlns at all.

Thus, my original request to quit adding xmlns="", as that disables the 
current namespace and sets it to null. Thus,
every items inside that is invalid.

On the validation side... if I try to validate it as done on the JDOM FAQ 
(or on the various suggestions from the list),
I get a ClassCastException in Xerces. If I use Xerces directly, it 
correctly validates.  Read a few emails ago, there was
a link to the bug report I submitted to Apache....
