document to xml, losing the namespace, prefix details

hi all,

note: we are using wm9.6 with not fixes or patches.

my wsdl fully defines fault.
our approach is wsdl first, web service provider development.

i’m trying to map the fault (our wsdl defined) to the soap fault document’s detail.
but in the SOAP fault message over http as response, is NOT having the namespace and prefix details for our error fault/details elements

is any specific measure to consider while document to xml conversion to retain the namespace and prefix details of the document into the xml string

any help is appreciated
</soapenv:Envelope>
soapenv:Body
soapenv:Fault
soapenv:Server
[ISS.0088.9256] Fault returned by invoked service
http://localhost:5555/xxx



xxxxxE
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxx



</soapenv:Fault>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

below document type is coming from wsdl (auto generated from wsdl while wsd creation). fault and all its subelements are having the namespace properties properly set

           <Fault>
              <ErrorCode>xxxxxE</ErrorCode>
              <ErrorMessage>xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx</ErrorMessage>
              <ErrorName>xxxxxxxxxxx</ErrorName>
           </Fault>

Quick question…In the document to xml string step did you specify name space in the input signature nsDecls and tested it?

HTH,
