Description

The behavior of the stream readers getNamespaceURI function for passing nulls appears to vary. The existing implementation breaks Woodstox when there is no attribute namespace. To fix, the following code from processAttributes in BXMLSerializer :

String namespaceURI = xmlStreamReader.getAttributeNamespace;
if (namespaceURI == null) {
namespaceURI = xmlStreamReader.getNamespaceURI("");
}

was replaced with:

String namespaceURI = xmlStreamReader.getAttributeNamespace;
if (namespaceURI.isEmpty()) {
namespaceURI = xmlStreamReader.getNamespaceURI();
}

The == null was replace with an isEmpty call (as this didn't function correctly with Woodstox) and the passing of "" was removed from the getNamespaceURI call.

BXMLSerializer with these changes now functions with Woodstox and also functions as expected with the default parser.
