Removing xmlns in child element

Question

Hi,
I am getting xmlns="" in child , i want to remove the xmlns="" from the child element.
Ex: Generated XML File-
<GENERATEFILES xmlns="http://getit.com/generatedFile" >
<GENERATE xmlns="">
</GENERATE >
</GENERATEFILES >
in the code i have added Namespace to display 'xmlns' in' GENERATEFILES ' element,
Element root = new Element("GENERATEFILES ");
Namespace IP_NAMESPACE = Namespace.getNamespace("", "http://getit.com/generatedFile");//added xmlns for GENERATEFILES .
root.setNamespace(IP_NAMESPACE);
Element child = new Element("GENERATE ");

The XML means the same thing with and without the internal namespace declarations.I don't believe that's true. If I'm not mistaken, the GENERATEFILES element is in the "http://getit.com/generatedFile" namespace. And since this namespace is declared to be the default namespace, then the GENERATE element would inherit that namespace unless some other declaration was provided. In the example posted there is another declaration provided on the GENERATE element, namely one which declares that the element is in no namespace.
If the OP gets his wish of not having that declaration present, that would result in the GENERATE element also being in the "http://getit.com/generatedFile" namespace, which can (as I believe you meant to say) be arranged by creating the GENERATE element in that namespace.
However the real question for the OP is "What namespace should the GENERATE element be in?" Attempting to control the namespace declarations without understanding them is a bad idea.
