Description coheigea 2009-04-14 03:33:31 UTC 
The 1.4.2 release fixed bug 42597 - "Unnecessary namespace declarations on Signature children":

https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=42597

A similar problem exists for the EncryptedData XML generated by the XMLCipher class, where the xenc namespace is defined for all child elements, e.g.:

<xenc:EncryptedData Id=".." Type=".." xmlns:xenc="http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmlenc#">
  <xenc:EncryptionMethod Algorithm=".." xmlns:xenc="http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmlenc#"/>
  <xenc:CipherData xmlns:xenc="http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmlenc#">
    <xenc:CipherValue xmlns:xenc="http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmlenc#">..
    </xenc:CipherValue>
  </xenc:CipherData>
</xenc:EncryptedData>

If there are no objections, I'll submit a patch in the next while to just define the xenc namespace on the parent element.
