Namespace prefix used but not declared

[rakeshvthu]

Hi All,

I am trying to parse the xml.

<ns1:ProcessGLAccountValidationRequestABM xmlns:ns1="http://xmins.oracle.com/ApplicationObjects/Ebiz/Core/ABM/ChartOfAccounts/V1">
<ns2:ChartOfAccountsName xmlns:ns2="http://xmlns.oracle.com/ApplicationObjects/Ebiz/Core/ABO/ChartOfAccounts/V1">Netherlands Accounting Flex</ns2:ChartOfAccountsName>
<ns2:ChartOfAccountsId>50560</ns2:ChartOfAccountsId>
<ns2:CodeCombinations>
<ns2:CodeCombinationId>76589</ns2:CodeCombinationId>
<ns2:GLElementValueList>
<ns2:ValueSetName>SEGMENT1</ns2:ValueSetName>
<ns2:Value>04</ns2:Value>
</ns2:GLElementValueList>
<ns2:GLElementValueList>
<ns2:ValueSetName>SEGMENT2</ns2:ValueSetName>
<ns2:Value>7410</ns2:Value>
</ns2:GLElementValueList>
<ns2:GLElementValueList>
<ns2:ValueSetName>SEGMENT3</ns2:ValueSetName>
<ns2:Value>320</ns2:Value>
</ns2:GLElementValueList>
<ns2:GLElementValueList>
<ns2:ValueSetName>SEGMENT4</ns2:ValueSetName>
<ns2:Value>000</ns2:Value>
</ns2:GLElementValueList>
</ns2:CodeCombinations>
</ns1:ProcessGLAccountValidationRequestABM>

but when i tried it is throwing error,

Exception occured in ValidateCCIDProcess.process() :oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLParseException: Namespace prefix 'ns2' used but not declared.
oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLParseException: Namespace prefix 'ns2' used but not declared.

Please help me.

Hi,

all namespaces must be declared in the root element.

I agree, move the namespace declaration to the root.

More detailed explanation:
The namespace doesn't have to be declared in the root node; however, each namespace declaration is only good for the element it is in, and all descendants of that node.

<ns2:ChartOfAccountsName xmlns:ns2="http://xmlns.oracle.com/ApplicationObjects/Ebiz/Core/ABO/ChartOfAccounts/V1">Netherlands Accounting Flex</ns2:ChartOfAccountsName> 
<ns2:ChartOfAccountsId>50560</ns2:ChartOfAccountsId> 
 

The ns2 namespace only lasts within the ns2:ChartOfAccountsName here.
ns2:ChartOfAccountsId can not find this namespace in any of its ancestors (parent node, or parent's parent, etc..)

You could also make the xml valid by redeclaring the namespace wherever you need to, as below, but that gets messy quickly.

<ns2:ChartOfAccountsName xmlns:ns2="http://xmlns.oracle.com/ApplicationObjects/Ebiz/Core/ABO/ChartOfAccounts/V1">Netherlands Accounting Flex</ns2:ChartOfAccountsName> 
<ns2:ChartOfAccountsId xmlns:ns2="http://xmlns.oracle.com/ApplicationObjects/Ebiz/Core/ABO/ChartOfAccounts/V1">50560</ns2:ChartOfAccountsId>
