I'm new to using the xml libs. I'm trying to create xml pragmatically,
but I'm finding an issue. I have two elements I'm creating using
createElementNS two elements (soap:Envelope and context). Each having
a different namespace. When I print the created xml, the namespace
attribute gets moved from the context element to the envelope element.
Is there a reason for this, and how can I get it to not do that?
Code:
from xml.dom import implementation
from xml.dom.ext import PrettyPrint
namespace = 'http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope'
# create XML DOM document
doc = implementation.createDocument(None, '', None)
# create soap envelope element with namespaces
soapenv = doc.createElementNS(namespace, "soap:Envelope")
# add soap envelope element
doc.appendChild(soapenv)
# create header element
header = doc.createElementNS(namespace, "soap:Header")
context = doc.createElementNS("urn:zimbra", "context")
context.appendChild(doc.createTextNode(' '))
header.appendChild(context)
soapenv.appendChild(header)
PrettyPrint(doc)
What I'm getting as output:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns='urn:zimbra' xmlns:soap='http://www.w3.org/
2003/05/soap-envelope'>
<soap:Header>
<context>
</context>
</soap:Header>
</soap:Envelope>
What I would expect
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap='http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope'>
<soap:Header>
<context xmlns='urn:zimbra'>
</context>
</soap:Header>
</soap:Envelope>
