Question

I’m using Java’s Transformer class to process an XML Document object.

This is the code that creates the Transformer:

import javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory; import javax.xml.transform.OutputKeys; import javax.xml.transform.Transformer;  Transformer transformer = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer(); transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, 'no'); transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.OMIT_XML_DECLARATION, 'yes');  transformer.transform(source, result); 

Currently, my output looks like this: <svg … />. I’d like it to include the namespace of each element, as in <svg:svg … />

How can I do that ?

Answer 1

Note that <svg xmlns='SVGNS' /> is the same as <svg:svg xmlns:svg='SVGNS' />.

Did you check you called setNamespaceAware(true) on your DocumentBuilderFactory instance ?
