Namespace declaration using DOM

[Pradeep bhatt]

Hi,
I am using DOM to create an XML document. How do I declare namespace?
I want to know which API is used to create namespace declaration in an XML document.
I want my final XML document to be
<RootElement xmlns:c="http://pradeep.somesite.com">
<name>pradeep</name>
<RootElement>
My problem is how to put the xml ns declaraton in RootElement.
Some one plz help;
thanks in adv.

did you try using org.w3c.dom.Document's
createElementNS(java.lang.String namespaceURI, java.lang.String qualifiedName
method?
