/**
 * It is common for an XML document to include one or more namespaces.
 * TopLink supports this using its NamespaceResolver. The namespace resolver maintains
 * pairs of namespace prefixes and URIs. TopLink uses these prefixes in conjunction with the
 * XPath statements you specify on EIS mappings to XML records and XML mappings.
 *
 * 
Although TopLink captures namespace prefixes in the XPath statements for mappings (if applicable),
 * the input document is not required to use the same namespace prefixes. TopLink will use the namespace
 * prefixes specified in the mapping when creating new documents.
 *
 * Code Sample

 * 
 *  NamespaceResolver resolver = new NamespaceResolver();

 *  resolver.put(    "ns", "urn:namespace-example");


 *
 *  XMLDescriptor descriptor = new XMLDescriptor();

 *  descriptor.setJavaClass(Customer.class); 

 *  descriptor.setDefaultRootElement("ns:customer");

 *  descriptor.setNamespaceResolver(resolver);


 *
 *  XMLDirectMapping mapping = new XMLDirectMapping();

 *  mapping.setAttributeName("id");

 *  mapping.setXPath("ns:id/text()");

 *  descriptor.addMapping(mapping);
 *  
 *
