RE: [xml-dev] xmlns empty string

["Michael Kay" <mike@saxonica.com>]

elementFormDefault="unqualified"

means that you want locally-declared elements like contact to be in no namespace. Whatever tool it was that generated the instance document has honoured that request. It's almost always more appropriate to use elementFormDefault="qualified".

Thanks for the reply.

I believe I specified Contact's ns in schema as targetNamespace. Here is my wsdl:type

    <wsdl:types>
        <xsd:schema
            xmlns:tns=" http://web.com/CRMUsers/types/test"
            xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
            xmlns=" http://web.com/CRMUsers"
            attributeFormDefault="unqualified" elementFormDefault="unqualified"
            targetNamespace=" http://web.com/CRMUsers/types/test">
            <xsd:include schemaLocation="xsd0.xsd" />
            <xsd:complexType name="ContactReturnType ">
                <xsd:sequence>
                    <xsd:element name="contact" nillable="true"
                        type="r:ContactType" />
                </xsd:sequence>
            </xsd:complexType>
            <xsd:element name=" contacts" nillable="true"
                type="r:ContactReturnType" />
            ...
        </xsd:schema>
    </wsdl:types>

<!-- xsd0.xsd -->
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
    attributeFormDefault="unqualified" elementFormDefault="unqualified">
    <xsd:complexType name=" ContactType">
        <xsd:attribute name="id" type="xsd:string" />
        <xsd:attribute name="firstName" type="xsd:string" />
        <xsd:attribute name="lastName" type="xsd:string" />
        <xsd:attribute name="email" type="xsd:string" />
    </xsd:complexType>
</xsd:schema>

Put the <Contact> elements in the "www.example.com" namespace -
currently they are in no namespace, hence the xmlns=""
