Description

There are still problems with the XML Namespace handling of XmlNodePrinter in 1.6 Beta 2. The following code parses valid XML and then writes it out to a string. The string no longer contains valid XML because one of the namespace prefixes has been lost.

def x="<Foo xmlns='urn:a' xmlns:f='urn:a'><f:Bar xmlns='urn:b'><haha/></f:Bar></Foo>"
def y = new XmlParser(false, true).parseText(x)
def writer = new StringWriter()
def xnp = new XmlNodePrinter(new PrintWriter(writer))
xnp.namespaceAware = true
xnp.print(y)
print writer.toString()

Output is (note missing declaration for namespace prefix f

<Foo xmlns="urn:a">
  <f:Bar>
    <haha xmlns="urn:b"/>
  </f:Bar>
</Foo>
