MQSeries.net :: View topic - WBIMB v6.0 - remove default namespaces in XMLNS domain

Hi,

I am using WBIMB 6.0 to pass XML message with namespaces to backend, I used XMLNS domain for MQInput Node.

By requirement, I need to remove all the namespaces before passing it to one of my legacy backend. I use the following code:

DECLARE BodyRefPtr REFERENCE TO OutputRoot.XMLNS;
CALL StripNamespaces(BodyRefPtr);

CREATE PROCEDURE StripNamespaces(IN StartRefPtr REFERENCE)
BEGIN

DECLARE FieldRefPtr REFERENCE TO StartRefPtr;

MOVE FieldRefPtr FIRSTCHILD;
IF LASTMOVE(FieldRefPtr) THEN
IF FIELDTYPE(FieldRefPtr) IN (0x01000000, 0x03000000) THEN
SET FieldRefPtr.(XML.NamespaceDecl)* = NULL;
SET FieldRefPtr NAMESPACE = '';
END IF;
END IF;

WHILE LASTMOVE(FieldRefPtr) DO
CALL StripNamespaces(FieldRefPtr);
IF FIELDTYPE(FieldRefPtr) IN (0x01000000, 0x03000000) THEN
SET FieldRefPtr.(XML.NamespaceDecl)* = NULL;
SET FieldRefPtr NAMESPACE = '';
END IF;
MOVE FieldRefPtr NEXTSIBLING;
END WHILE;
END;

The code work well for all my XML messages. However, if the input XML contains default namespaces, it fail to remove the namespaces and event worse is that, it throw the exception 'Element must have a namespace specified if there is a default namespace in scope' when sending out via MQOutput Node. Below is the sample of the XML message with default namespaces:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><RootTag xmlns:a="http://something" xmlns:b="http://something2" xmlns:c="http://something3" xmlns="http://something4"><a:tag1>0</a:tag1><b:tag2>body</b:tag2></RootTag>

Any idea for that?
