I am looking for the most preferred way to add, or pass, an xml decrlation through a mapping node.

1. Two message definition file are created using schema files (xsd) via create new message definition file from schema file menu selection
The result is "correct", does not include the elements defining the xml declaration
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

The schemas conform to the standard and are created by RSA 7.0
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" ....
some type definitions etc etc
</xs:schema>

2. A sample xml is created using the same xsd
The broker generated xml starts with
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<commonNS:company xmlns:commonNS="http://www.acme.com" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.acme.com" >
...
</commonNS:company>

3. A mapping is done via a mapping node from the first structure to the second.

4. Message is sent to the mapping node.

Since the message definition file generated from the original XSD did not add the usual xml declaration to the message defintion, and it is not in the properties section of the source and target, the xml declaration gets dropped after the message comes out of the node, even though it was in the input before the node.

This can be fixed by adding the xml declaration by hand to the message defintion, unless there is a better way to handle it.

Is there a better way to handle it?
