XML namespace prefix must be 'c' to extract entities when using contentType="text/raw"?
XML namespace prefix must be 'c' to extract entities when using contentType="text/raw"?
Posted on: Mon, 10/20/2008 - 06:36

When using 'text/raw' I found entities weren't being extracted.
Then I found this post: http://www.opencalais.com/node/5819
So I made sure that I included a space in the processingDirectives XML element as suggested.
This, by itself, didn't fix the problem. It turns out I need to do that AND use 'c' as my namespace prefix. For example, the attached XMLParams file does not work unless a change 'r:' to 'c:'.

If I drop the space OR change the prefix OR use a default namespace, the entities are not extracted.

Which is a pitty because my XML library doesn't allow me to specify the prefix... it's not meant to matter. So now I write this XML by hand.

Is this a known problem in XML support for Calais?
Are there other XML issues to be aware of (for example, with external metadata?)

thanks for link to beta.
I found that it does not fix the problem I mentioned about using a namespace prefix other than 'c:'.
(Although it does seem to fix the problem about needing a space in the element content mentioned here: http://www.opencalais.com/node/5819)

Plugger -
This is a bug that will be fixed in a future release.
