510369 - XML empty namespace should not be removed from nodes.

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Tamarin Graveyard :: Virtual Machine, defect)

Description

[Chris Peyer]

The empty namespace is removed from the XML object after it is created or casted from a String.

The empty namespace is important in order to communicate with XML based services.
If it is removed and they are expecting it, a serialization fault is returned.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create an XML variable using empty namespace:

var myXml : XML =
<parent xmlns="http://namespace.com">
<child xmlns="" />
</parent>;

2. Trace it in debug mode:

trace(myXml);

 
 Actual Results: empty namespace disappeared from child node.
 <parent xmlns="http://namespace.com">
  <child/>
</parent>
 
 Expected Results: empty namespace should be preserved.
 <parent xmlns="http://namespace.com">
  <child xmlns="" />
</parent>
