I can't reproduce this one. I see both these test cases passing:


    public static void testAustB() throws IOException {

        Element e1 = new Element("a:a", "urn:a");
        Element e2 = new Element("b");
        e1.appendChild(e2);

        ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
        Canonicalizer c = new Canonicalizer(out,
        Canonicalizer.EXCLUSIVE_XML_CANONICALIZATION);
        c.write(e1);
        String s = out.toString("UTF8");
        assertEquals("<a:a xmlns:a=\"urn:a\"><b></b></a:a>", s);

    }


    public static void testAustB2() throws IOException {

        Element e1 = new Element("a:a", "urn:a");
        Element e2 = new Element("b");
        e1.appendChild(e2);

        ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
        Canonicalizer c = new Canonicalizer(out);
        c.write(e1);
        String s = out.toString("UTF8");
        assertEquals("<a:a xmlns:a=\"urn:a\"><b></b></a:a>", s);

    }

What am I missing? Do you have a complete test case?
