Adding a namespace definition in xml using apache xmlbeans

Question

I need to add a namespace definition to the element as it is not added when xml is created using apache xmlbean. How to do this using the xmlbeans API?

Answer 1

I found the answer to this problem. That's how it is.

XmlCursor cursor= targetObject.newCursor();
cursor.toNextToken();
cursor.insertNamespace("A", "namespace1");
//For example
cursor.insertNamespace("xsi", "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance");
cursor.dispose();

Answer 2

Using:

XmlOptions.setSaveSuggestedPrefixes()

XmlOptions xmlOptions = new XmlOptions();

xmlOptions.setSavePrettyPrint();

xmlOptions.setSavePrettyPrintIndent(4);

xmlOptions.setSaveAggressiveNamespaces();

HashMap<String, String> nsMap = new HashMap<String, String>();

nsMap.put("namespace1","A");

nsMap.put("http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance", "xsi");

xmlOptions.setSaveSuggestedPrefixes(nsMap);

// Create your XmlObject

<Your XmlObject>.save(new File("test.xml"),xmlOptions);
