Hi,

I'm new to the list. I've already used JDOM, but now I have a problem
where I'd like to ask your help.

I want to produce XHTML files, more precisely Xforms. Here is a sample:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
      xmlns:xforms="http://www.w3.org/2002/xforms"
      xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
      xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
</html>

The problem is how to set the xmlns:xforms namespace. I get the
following exception:

Exception in thread "main" org.jdom.IllegalNameException: The name
"xmlns:xforms" is not legal for JDOM/XML Namespace prefixs: Namespace
prefixes cannot begin with "xml" in any combination of case.

Here is what I tried:

Namespace ns;
this.root = new Element("html");
// this line below works for "xmlns"
ns = Namespace.getNamespace("http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml");
this.root.setNamespace(ns);
// problems arise here:
ns = Namespace.getNamespace("xmlns:xforms", "http://www.w3.org/2002/xforms");
this.root.setNamespace(ns);

Thanks,

Laszlo
