Hi All,

Hi,

all namespaces must be declared in the root element.

I agree, move the namespace declaration to the root.

More detailed explanation:
The namespace doesn't have to be declared in the root node; however, each namespace declaration is only good for the element it is in, and all descendants of that node.

[code=xml]
<ns2:ChartOfAcc ountsName xmlns:ns2="http ://xmlns.oracle.co m/ApplicationObje cts/Ebiz/Core/ABO/ChartOfAccounts/V1">Netherlan ds Accounting Flex</ns2:ChartOfAcco untsName>
<ns2:ChartOfAcc ountsId>50560</ns2:ChartOfAcco untsId>
[/code]
The ns2 namespace only lasts within the ns2:ChartOfAcco untsName here.
ns2:ChartOfAcco untsId can not find this namespace in any of its ancestors (parent node, or parent's parent, etc..)

You could also make the xml valid by redeclaring the namespace wherever you need to, as below, but that gets messy quickly.
[code=xml]
<ns2:ChartOfAcc ountsName xmlns:ns2="http ://xmlns.oracle.co m/ApplicationObje cts/Ebiz/Core/ABO/ChartOfAccounts/V1">Netherlan ds Accounting Flex</ns2:ChartOfAcco untsName>
<ns2:ChartOfAcc ountsId xmlns:ns2="http ://xmlns.oracle.co m/ApplicationObje cts/Ebiz/Core/ABO/ChartOfAccounts/V1">50560</ns2:ChartOfAcco untsId>
[/code]
