Subject: Adding a namespace
Author: rajat nair

Hi,
I m trying to add a namespace to a document created by the mapping utility,but whn i do declare default namespace like,
declare default element namespace "http://www.openapplications.org/oagis/9";
the result omits all the data grabbed by the mapping and gives only a blank xml even though i have the required namespace added.
This is what i need to be present in the outgoing document,

<ProcessPurchaseOrder xmlns="http://www.openapplications.org/oagis/9" releaseID="9">

I read the following article from datadirect regarding this, but the problem is i do not want to declare a namespace and then use it, because in that case it would have a prefix which may not be recognised by our warehouse software.Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards
Rajat Nair

Difficult to tell without seeing the XQuery; but maybe you are hitting the issue described here? http://www.xquery.com/tips_and_tricks/xpath_and_namespaces.html

...BTW, if that's the problem you are hitting, and you cannot use a prefix for the namespace you are trying to use, probably the easiest way to proceed is to change your XPath expressions (/a/b/c, for example) to use "*:" to make sure they match any namespace... (/*:a/*:b/*:c)

Hi,
The solution mentioned by worked,but i had another question associated with the same issue, hence decided to keep it in the same thread,the default namespace now shows
<ProcessPurchaseOrder xmlns="http://www.openapplications.org/oagis/9">

but the complete information in that tag should also contain a release id, something like this
<ProcessPurchaseOrder xmlns="http://www.openapplications.org/oagis/9" releaseID="9">
How do i go about adding in this extra text?

...the same way you would create an attribute for any output element... We don't have your XQuery, so it's difficult to tell you more; maybe you currently have something like...
...
<ProcessPurchaseOrder>
...
</ProcessPurchaseOrder>
...

Then change it to something like:
...
<ProcessPurchaseOrder releaseID="9">
...
</ProcessPurchaseOrder>
...

...or use releaseID="{some expression}" if the value of releaseID needs to be the result of a computed expression.
