Re: MOXy: Marshalling with no namespace prefix?

Matt MacIvor wrote:

Hi Polly,

EclipseLink doesn't currently support the default namespace for
marshalling. We require a prefix for any namespace that's used. However,
there is already a work item to add support for this, so it will be
coming in the near future.
