XOM API for Processing XML with Java

[Mik Lernout <mik AT futurestreet.org>]

Hi all,

I have just begun the switch from javax-SAXto XOM and found it 
suprisingly pleasent.
But I have one rather big problem. When parsing an XML the attributes I 
get from the XML tree do not have any namespaceURI's attached, for example:

import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.StringReader;

import nu.xom.Builder;
import nu.xom.Document;
import nu.xom.Element;
import nu.xom.ParsingException;
import nu.xom.ValidityException;

public class XOMDemo {

   public static void main(String[] args) {
      
       String xmlAsString = "<test 
xmlns:test=\"http://test.org/Test\";><a 
test:attribute=\"attributeValue\"></a></test>";
       Builder parser = new Builder();
       Document doc = null;
       try{
            doc = parser.build(new StringReader(xmlAsString));
            Element aElement = 
doc.getRootElement().getFirstChildElement("a");
            System.out.println("Found attribute value of: " + 
aElement.getAttributeValue("http://test.org/Test","attribute";));
       } catch (ValidityException ex){
           ex.printStackTrace();
       } catch (ParsingException ex){
           ex.printStackTrace();
       } catch (IOException ex){
           ex.printStackTrace();
       }
   }
}

returns "Found attribute value of: null"... I don't think this is 
correct behaviour is it?

PS: I am using the JDK 1.4.2 and have tried it also with Xerces 2.2.1 
with no better results...
