Description

The marshalling of a JAXB object created by the parsing of XML data with the Xerces parser
gives two differents results if the classpath contains only xerces.jar or if it contains xerces.jar, xalan.jar and serializer.jar.

1) Classpath with xerces only :
[java] <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
[java] <dataDetail xmlns="http://my.namespace.com/a" name="datadetail-001">
[java] <data id="data-001">
[java] <n:test xmlns:n="http://my.namespace.com/n">data</n:test>
[java] </data>
[java] <data id="data-002">
[java] <n:test xmlns:n="http://my.namespace.com/n">data</n:test>
[java] </data>
[java] </dataDetail>

2) Classpath with xerces, xalan and serializer :
[java] <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
[java] <dataDetail xmlns="http://my.namespace.com/a" name="datadetail-001">
[java] <data id="data-001">
[java] <n:test xmlns:n="http://my.namespace.com/n">data</n:test>
[java] </data>
[java] <data id="data-002">
[java] <test xmlns:ns2="http://my.namespace.com/a" xmlns="" xmlns:n="http://my.namespace.com/n">data</test>
[java] </data>
[java] </dataDetail>

I've make test with the released and with the trunk versions of Xalan.

First, I had posted this bug on the JAXB issue tracker but the JAXB team investigations indicated that the problem came from Xalan.

I've a full test case that you could run with ANT. I will try to attach it.
