Re: XML::Writer and the default namespace

It sounds like you should either alter your local XML::Writer install or use a different module. But really - it doesn't matter whether your XML is character identical with the Java folk's XML. The whole point here is that the namespace is useful for distinguishing between which namespace an element belongs to. Any namespace respecting XML parser should be able to handle the data in either mode and not give you issues. This is jsut basic XML.

So I don't think its a problem.

I don't disagree with you but my Java guys are still having a cow over the issue. I'm hoping there is something I'm not setting up quite right in my XML::Writer calls that would solve this.	[reply]

And I would have figured the Java people would be all over XML standards. Or perhaps they aren't using a real parser and it doesn't work if you give it differently formatted data. Anyway, I think you're going to just end up either subclassing or forking XML::Writer. I'll bet its just a few lines that need changing - chek it out. Seeking Green geeks in Minnesota	[reply]
