Intresting problem with JDOM and xmlns in root element.

Question

Hi all,
I am trying to parse a xml file using a jdom java code.This code works fine if I remove xmlns attribute in the root element.Please tell me how to fix this issue.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Xml
<process name="CreateKBEntryService" targetNamespace="http://serena.com/CreateKBEntryService" suppressJoinFailure="yes" xmlns:tns="http://serena.com/CreateKBEntryService" xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2003/03/business-process/" xmlns:bpelx="http://schemas.oracle.com/bpel/extension" xmlns:ora="http://schemas.oracle.com/xpath/extension" xmlns:nsxml0="http://localhost:8080/axis/services/CreateKBEntryService" xmlns:nsxml1="http://DefaultNamespace" xmlns:bpws="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2003/03/business-process/">
<partnerLinks>
          <partnerLink name="client" partnerLinkType="tns:CreateKBEntryService" myRole="CreateKBEntryServiceProvider"/>
          <partnerLink name="CreateKBEntryPartnerLink" partnerLinkType="nsxml0:CreateKBEntryLink" partnerRole="CreateKBEntryProvider"/>
     </partnerLinks>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
Java:
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import org.jdom.Document;
import org.jdom.Element;
import org.jdom.input.SAXBuilder;
public class sample1 {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
// create a XML parser and read the XML file
SAXBuilder oBuilder = new SAXBuilder();
Document oDoc = oBuilder.build(new File("file location "));
     Element root = oDoc.getRootElement();
     System.out.println(root.getName());
     String tgtns= root.getAttributeValue("targetNamespace");
     System.out.println("tgt ns "+ tgtns);
List list= root.getChildren("partnerLinks");
     Iterator it1= list.iterator();
     System.out.println(list.size());
     while(it1.hasNext()){
          Element partnerlinks = (Element)it1.next();
          List list2= partnerlinks.getChildren("partnerLink");
          System.out.println(list2.size());
          Iterator it2= list2.iterator();
          String[][] partnerLinkval = new String [2][list2.size()];
          int i=0,j=0;
          while(it2.hasNext())
               Element el2= (Element)it2.next();
          String ElementName = el2.getName();
          partnerLinkval[i][j]= ElementName;
          j++;
          String Attribute = el2.getAttributeValue("myRole");
          partnerLinkval[i][j]= Attribute;
          i++;
          j--;
          System.out.println("Saving in array "+el2.getName());
          System.out.println("Saving in array "+Attribute);
          System.out.println("array length"+partnerLinkval.length);
          for (int l=0;l<2;l++){
          for(int k=0;k<partnerLinkval.length;k++)
               System.out.println(partnerLinkval[l][k]);
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Result:
Without Xmlns in xml file
process
tgt ns http://serena.com/buildserviceflow
1
2
Saving in array partnerLink
Saving in array BpelServiceFlowProvider
Saving in array partnerLink
Saving in array null
array length2
partnerLink
BpelServiceFlowProvider
partnerLink
null
Result with xmlns:
process
tgt ns http://serena.com/CreateKBEntryService
0

Hi,
I am also having the same problem using jdom, my code works fine when there is no xmlns attribute but when i put the xmlns attribute back in doesn't work.
Did you manage to find a way to solve this problem?
