DOMException while cloning XML Node

Question

Hi,

The cloneNode() method in the following minimal example works on java 1.6 but throws an DOMException with code 14 under android 5.

Code 14 according to sdk docs means: "NAMESPACE_ERR If an attempt is made to create or change an object in a way which is incorrect with regard to namespaces."

Has anybody an idea why this might be? Thank you in advance!

public class M
{
 public static void main(String[] args)
 {
  try
  {
             DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
             DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();

             String text = new String("<blub></blub>");
             Document document = builder.parse(new InputSource( new StringReader(text) ));

             document.getDocumentElement().cloneNode(true);
  }
  catch(DOMException e)
  {}
  catch(ParserConfigurationException e)
  {}
  catch(IOException e)
  {}
  catch(SAXException e)
  {}
 }
}

You can try to play with factory.setNamespaceAware()
