resolving namespace for attribute content with a QName

Hi all,

  I was trying to parse a simple Document before invoking an XSLT
using  JAXP APIs.
  The XML has roughly the following structure
  ......
  <customer idName="tns:customerId"
xmlns:tns="http://abcd.org">Sample Customer</customer>
  .....

Here, i need to resolve the namespace for customerId.. I want to do
this in a parser independant way. How do i achieve this ? Basically,
how do i generically get the namespace resolver irrespective of a
parser impl ?

rgds,
menon
