Trying to understand why simple unmarshalling is failing

[richard3d]

Hello,
I am new to jsonix and interested mostly in using it to unmarshall xml data. I wrote a very basic test example but have been unsuccessful in getting it to work.

var MyModule = {
    name: 'MyModule',
    typeInfos: [{
        type: 'classInfo',
        localName: 'AnyElementType',
        propertyInfos: [{
            type: 'anyElement',
            allowDom: true,
            allowTypedObject:true,
            name: 'any',
            collection: false
        }]
    }],
    elementInfos: [{
        elementName: 'sos:Capabilities',
        typeInfo: 'MyModule.AnyElementType'
    }]
  };

  var context = new Jsonix.Context([MyModule], {namespacePrefixes:  {'http://www.opengis.net/sos/2.0':'sos'}});
  var unmarshaller = context.createUnmarshaller();
  var data = unmarshaller.unmarshalString('<sos:Capabilities version=\"2.0.0\">hello</sos:Capabilities>');
  return data;

I hardcoded a single simple element that has a namespace and contains 'hello' for the test xml. I was interested in the 'any element mapping' for generic unmarshalling. I feel like I have the namespace configured appropriately etc when creating the context yet I keep getting the following error:
Element [sos:Capabilities] could not be unmarshalled as is not known in this context and the property does not allow DOM content. Thoughts? and thanks in advance.

Moved this question over to Stack Overflow, for some reason I do not have the ability to label this issue as a question and I tried deleting it but apparently cannot. Sorry for the trouble.

You have no namespace URI attached to the sos prefix in your XML string. xmlns:sos="..." is missing.

BTW check the ogc-schemas project for SOS mappings.

Hey thanks for the quick reply. I assume you are referring to changing the xml string to be
var data = unmarshaller.unmarshalString('<sos:Capabilities version=\"2.0.0\" xmlns:sos=\"http://www.opengis.net/sos/2.0\">hello</sos:Capabilities>');

Correct? If so this only changes the error to:
[{http://www.opengis.net/sos/2.0}sos:Capabilities] could not be unmarshalled as is not known in this context and the property does not allow DOM content.

Please see my answer here:

In short, namespacePrefixes are currently not supported for elementInfos (as well as attribute properties).
