XML to IDoc scenario

Question

Hi all,
for a customer I'm building an xml to IDoc scenario. The xml-file looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<ROOT>
  <ROW>
    <_5731 />
    <_5735 />
    <EMPLOYEE_SALARYNR>test</EMPLOYEE_SALARYNR>
  </ROW>
</ROOT>
The message type I created in the message mapping looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:ROOT xmlns:ns0="http://wartsila.com/i-protect">
   <ROW>
    <_5731 />
    <_5735 />
    <EMPLOYEE_SALARYNR>test</EMPLOYEE_SALARYNR>
  </ROW>
</ROOT>
My problem is I'm not able to translate the customer xml-file in my message mapping, unless I add the namespace "xmlns:ns0="http://wartsila.com/i-protect"" to the file. I tried to solve the problem by deleting the namespace declaration in the message mapping. After that I receive an error when I import the changed structure into the message mapping.
Is anyone familiair with this problem? Is there someway to add a namespace to the sourcefile or to change the message mapping such a way that it corresponds to the source file?
Thanks in advance!

Since you have created a Message Type corresponding to the sender structure you have the option of deleting the namespace from the Message Type itself.....it is not to be deleted from the message mapping as you mentioned above.....changes made to the MT may cause an initial inconsistency in the mapping......but once done it will be fixed :)...just refer the blog given by Aamir...
