Link XmlAttributes aren't namespaced to ATOM

[sdavids13]

Currently the atom:link attributes aren't being namespaced, thus this is invalid XML since the atom schema requires a href attribute within the same namespace.

Any chance you add a test case or some sample code that shows what's not working exactly?

I encountered this or similar. For what it's worth, here is an example of what I see:

<wstxns2:link>
    <wstxns2:link rel="..." href="..." />
    <wstxns2:link rel="..." href="..." />
</wstxns2:link>

I am Marshalling to XML using Jackson and Woodcox, which explains the wstxns2.

Jackson has limited support for Jaxb annotations. Looks like Jackson misses the "namespace" field of @XmlType. See Jackson source.

This should explain the missing Link namespace, which is specified inside XmlType. See Spring HATEOAS source.

So, this is probably a Jackson issue.

But could Spring HATEOAS also add extra namespace specifications in order to work with more Marshallers?
