problem with sending a message

[gerbdla]

I have this code which is generating an error
Element requestElement = new Element("EvaluateHandRequest");
Namespace ns = Namespace.getNamespace("http://www.springinaction.com/poker/schemas");
requestElement.setNamespace(ns);
Document doc = new Document(requestElement);
System.out.println(doc.toString());
for (int i = 0; i < cards.length; i++) {
Element cardElement = new Element("card");
Element suitElement = new Element("suit");
suitElement.setText(cards[i].getSuit().toString());
Element faceElement = new Element("face");
faceElement.setText(cards[i].getFace().toString());
cardElement.addContent(suitElement);
cardElement.addContent(faceElement);
doc.getRootElement().addContent(cardElement);

}

// Send message
JDOMSource requestSource = new JDOMSource(doc);
JDOMResult result = new JDOMResult();
webServiceTemplate.sendSourceAndReceiveToResult(re questSource, result);


THis is the error generated at the sendSourceAndReceiveToResult method

org.springframework.ws.client.WebServiceTransforme rException: Transformation error: org.jdom.JDOMException: Exception in startElement: NAMESPACE_ERR: An attempt is made to create or change an object in a way which is incorrect with regard to namespaces.; nested exception is javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: org.jdom.JDOMException: Exception in startElement: NAMESPACE_ERR: An attempt is made to create or change an object in a way which is incorrect with regard to namespaces.

Make sure you use Xalan 2.7.0.

I encountered the same problem and I am using Xalan 2.7.0. But when I hit the debugger I noticed that Xerces from Sun's distribution of rt.jar is being used.

Any suggestions how I can overcome this issue?

Thanks,
