[Bug xml/40653] New: Issue with XML stream writer and namespaces

[ludovic dot claude at laposte dot net]

I have an issue with XMLStreamWriter. I have a test case which works perfectly
with Sun 6 and Sun 5 + StAX reference implementation from stax.codehaus.org,
but it fails on GNU Classpath. The issue is that the validation seems too
strong for the namespace, and it doesn't like writeNamespace() with a null
prefix argument, although the documentation says:

> Writes a namespace to the output stream If the prefix argument to this method 
> is the empty string, "xmlns", or null this method will delegate to 
> writeDefaultNamespace

This is the result of running my test:

1)
testWriter(gnu.xml.stream.XMLStreamWriterTest)java.lang.IllegalArgumentException:
illegal NCName: null
   at gnu.xml.stream.XMLStreamWriterImpl.writeNamespace(libgcj.so.90)
   at
gnu.xml.stream.XMLStreamWriterTest.testWriter(XMLStreamWriterTest.java:26)
   at gnu.xml.stream.XMLStreamWriterTest.main(XMLStreamWriterTest.java:37)
