Hi All,

I have ran into an another problem with namespaces while using gdome!

If I parse an existing xml document with only namespace attribute in the=20
document element, and then call 'hasAttributes' on the document element, th=
e=20
'hasAttributes' returns false.

Namespaces are special attirbutes and should be ideally considered as=20
attributes itself. So 'hasAttributes' should have returned true.=20

If it is a conscious decision to support this behaviour, why was it designe=
d=20
that way?

The following code snippets will demonstrate the problem

consider "college.xml" having the following data...

<abc:college xmlns:abc=3D"*namespaceUri*">   <abc:principal>ram</abc:princi=
pal
>
</abc:college>
- <#>

 and I call hasAttributes as shown below on the document element

 GdomeException exc =3D 0;
 GdomeDOMImplementation *domimpl =3D gdome_di_mkref ();

 GdomeDocument *doc =3D gdome_di_createDocFromURI(domimpl,"college.xml
",GDOME_LOAD_PARSING,&exc);
 GdomeElement* elem =3D gdome_doc_documentElement(doc,&exc);
 GdomeBoolean b =3D gdome_el_hasAttributes(elem,&exc);

The value of b obtained is FALSE.


Thanks,
Chetan Raj
