[roxml] xmlns in root node

Ruby
1

Hi there,

I’m a bit stuck with roxml (GitHub - Empact/roxml: ROXML is a module for binding Ruby classes to XML. It supports custom mapping and bidirectional marshalling between Ruby and XML using annotation-style class methods, via Nokogiri or LibXML.). I’ve a
webservice which wants me to send a REST-Request with the following body

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<ns2:user xmlns:ns2=“http://foo.example.com”>
attr
</ns2:user>

I mastered the REST-part, but found no way to get roxml to write out the
xml-reprensentation the way I need it.

I always get:

ns2:user
attr
</ns2:user>

when translating the object this way

Object.to_xml.to_s

I use the gem of roxml

gem install roxml -v 3.2.1

the following input file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<ns2:user xmlns:ns2=“http://foo.example.com”>
attr
</ns2:user>

and the following script

require ‘roxml’
require ‘pry’
require ‘pp’

class User
include ROXML

#not needed but my real classes look like UserSimple etc.
xml_name 'user'
xml_namespace :ns2
#I also tried it this way
#xml_namespaces :ns2 => 'http://foo.example.com'

xml_accessor :attribute, :namespace => false

end

user = User.from_xml(File.read(File.expand_path(‘example-user.xml’,
File.dirname(FILE))))
pp user.to_xml.to_s

Help would be very welcome, as I’m stuck in the moment and need the
stuff working for my master thesis.

Thanks.

Cheers,
Herbert
