Description
Rather than having 1 class -> a local name part of the class name and no namespace
it'd be nice to introduce the option of namespaces. e.g. use a namespace of a package
for com.foo.bar
we could have
<Person xmlns="java:/com.foo.bar">
<Address>....</Address>
</Person>
instead of
<com.foo.bar.Person>
<com.foo.bar. Address>... </com.foo.bar. Address>
</com.foo.bar.Person>
which is a little neater and works more nicely with the WS-* and WSDL worlds

The problem is that the current namespace support is already a hack working for one parser only :-/

added a comment - The problem is that the current namespace support is already a hack working for one parser only :-/ Ok. I checked out the source, but it is (for me) to much to just jump in. Where's this hack? I'll try to look into the source to, and help where possible. Maybe you could give me some starting points?
I found this at some forum, changed it a bit;
"Jörg gave me a way to get namespaces when using the Stax driver (..) Currently the StaxDriver is the only driver with namespace support. Setup a QNameMap with your QNames and provide it to the StaX implementation:
http://forum.springsource.org/showthread.php?t=47002
package xStreamNamespaceTest; import javax.xml.namespace.QName; import com.thoughtworks.xstream.XStream; import com.thoughtworks.xstream.io.xml.QNameMap; import com.thoughtworks.xstream.io.xml.StaxDriver; public class NamespaceTest { public static void main(String[] args) { QNameMap oQNameMap = new QNameMap(); StaxDriver oStaxDr = new StaxDriver(oQNameMap/*optional*/); XStream oXStream = new XStream(oStaxDr); QName oQName = new QName("http://domain.tld/person/", "person", "prefix"/*optional*/); Person oMe = new Person("Robert", 24); oStaxDr.getQnameMap().registerMapping(oQName, Person.class); System.out.println(oXStream.toXML(oMe)); } }
Outputs
<?xml version="1.0" ?> <prefix:person xmlns:prefix="http://domain.tld/person/"> <name>Robert</name> <age>24</age> </prefix:person>

@Robert: Come to the developer's list, JIRA is not for such discussion and I can follow the traffic a lot easier.

Sorry for duplicating this feature, I would really like it too. Is it very difficult to code? Could the aliasPackage-method be any helpfull?
