JDOM : Add namespace prefix to all child elements and all attributes

[Santhosh Kalisamy]

Hi,

I do have the below XML....

<ns:root xmlns:ns="http://www.namespacepath.com/namespacepath"> <child1 id="1"> <name/> <child11/> </child1> <child1 id="2"> <name/> <child11/> </child1> </root>

Please help me to convert this XML like below using JDOM or anyother JAVA XML framework...

<ns:root xmlns:ns="http://www.namespacepath.com/namespacepath"> <ns:child1 ns:id="1"> <ns:name/> <ns:child11/> </ns:child1> <ns:child1 ns:id="2"> <ns:name/> <ns:child11/> </ns:child1> </ns:root>

Right now, it has been done with String Manipulation which I would like to replace with XML manipulation...

I have used JDOM to travel through each child and added namespace...

Looks like, there is no direct way/method to add namespace to all child.

If anyone knows any other ways, please share...

	public static void addNamespace(Element root, Namespace namespace) {
		if(root == null)
			return;
		
		root.setNamespace(namespace);
		for(int index=0; root.getChildren()!= null &&  index < root.getChildren().size(); index++){
			Element child = (Element) root.getChildren().get(index);
			addNamespace(child.getAttributes(), namespace);
			addNamespace(child, namespace);
		}
	}
	public static void addNamespace(List attributes, Namespace namespace) {
		if(DataFormatUtil.isEmptyOrNull(attributes))
			return;
		
		for(int index=0; index < attributes.size(); index++){
			Attribute attribute = (Attribute) attributes.get(index);
			if(DataFormatUtil.isEmptyOrNull(attribute.getNamespacePrefix()))
					attribute.setNamespace(namespace);
		}
	}
