Subject: [roxml] xmlns in root node

Hi there,

I'm a bit stuck with roxml (https://github.com/Empact/roxml). I've a
webservice which wants me to send a REST-Request with the following body

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  <ns2:user xmlns:ns2="http://foo.example.com">
  <attribute>attr</attribute>
  </ns2:user>

I mastered the REST-part, but found no way to get roxml to write out the
xml-reprensentation the way I need it.

I always get:

  <ns2:user>
    <attribute>attr</attribute>
  </ns2:user>

when translating the object this way

Object.to_xml.to_s

I use the gem of roxml

  gem install roxml -v 3.2.1

the following input file

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  <ns2:user xmlns:ns2="http://foo.example.com">
    <attribute>attr</attribute>
  </ns2:user>


and the following script

  require 'roxml'
  require 'pry'
  require 'pp'

  class User
    include ROXML

    #not needed but my real classes look like UserSimple etc.
    xml_name 'user'
    xml_namespace :ns2
    #I also tried it this way
    #xml_namespaces :ns2 => 'http://foo.example.com'

    xml_accessor :attribute, :namespace => false
  end

  user = User.from_xml(File.read(File.expand_path('example-user.xml',
File.dirname(__FILE__))))
  pp user.to_xml.to_s


Help would be very welcome, as I'm stuck in the moment and need the
stuff working for my master thesis.

Thanks.

Cheers,
Herbert
