"Generate Sample XML" add a namespace

[mpbahl]

I'm using "Generate Sample XML Files..." to generate xml from a schema. when the xml is generated there is no namespace on the nodes.
For example: <person> rather than <ns1:person>
I've set the defaultNamespace and there's only one namespaceMapping.

How can I get the namespace to be added to the elements?

Thanks
Michael

Hello,

What settings are you using in the Namespaces section from the Generate Sample XML Files dialog?

If you picked a namespace(e.g. my.namespace) from the Default Namespace combo then in the generated sample you will find the default namespace declaration on the root(e.g. <root xmlns="my.namespace">).
This makes redundant the prefix declaration for the same namespace, so it is omitted in the samples(it wouldn't be used anyway).

If you want to force a namespace prefix to be used in the generated sample then set the Default Namespace to <NO_NAMESPACE> or if you have several namespaces, a different namespace than the one you want a prefix for.

Adrian
