XOM API for Processing XML with Java

["Aust, Stefan" <stefan.aust AT coremedia.com>]

Hello,

I'm a happy XOM user so far but know I've a problem I didn't find an
easy solution.

I need to preserve this structure

 <a:x xmlns:a="urn:1">
   <a:y xmlns:a="urn:1">
    ...
   </a:y>
 </a:x>

and need to regenerate those duplicate namespace declaration later on.
It seems that XOM is a bit too clever and optimizes the namespace
declarations. When I try to serialize the XOM, I cannot distinguish the
above case from the equivalent:

 <a:x xmlns:a="urn:1">
   <a:y>
    ...
   </a:y>
 </a:x>

Any ideas how to solve this problem?

Regards,
