Get element attributes with JDOM

Question

Dear JDOM experts,
I am learning JDOM.
Here is a piece of codes:
SAXBuilder saxBuilder = new SAXBuilder();
doc = saxBuilder.build(new File(filename));
Element rootElement=doc.getRootElement();
System.out.println ("rootElement.getName() = "+ rootElement.getName());
List attributeList=rootElement.getAttributes();
System.out.println ("attributeList.size()= "+ attributeList.size());
Iterator attributeIterator=attributeList.iterator();
while (attributeIterator.hasNext()) {
Attribute attribute=(Attribute)attributeIterator.next();
System.out.println ("attribute.getName()= "+ attribute.getName());
System.out.println ("attribute.getValue()= "+ attribute.getValue());
I applied it to
<NODE SHORTNAME="008O1-C2" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="F:\mydeltaxml\Pegase.xsd">
The root element has three attributes.
But why did I get only two as
rootElement.getName() = NODE
attributeList.size()= 2
attribute.getName()= SHORTNAME
attribute.getValue()= 008O1-C2
attribute.getName()= noNamespaceSchemaLocation
attribute.getValue()= F:\mydeltaxml\Pegase.xsd
Any explanation?

AG

Hi, JDOM expert,
Thanks for the reply.
However, I still have a small doubt.
Please notice that in
<NODE SHORTNAME="008O1-C2" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="F:\mydeltaxml\Pegase.xsd">
For "xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="F:\mydeltaxml\Pegase.xsd", why was the prefix xsi not taken by the parser as a part of the attribute name?
Best regards,
AG
