How to remove xmlns="" from xml request

i'm trying to remove blank xmlns from the xml request generated from stub that i've auto-generated from a wsdl using the axis wizard.

Axis wizard generates the request class in which there is:

 private static org.apache.axis.description.TypeDesc typeDesc =
        new org.apache.axis.description.TypeDesc(Request.class, true);

    static {
        typeDesc.setXmlType(new javax.xml.namespace.QName("http://myNamespace"));
        org.apache.axis.description.ElementDesc elemField = new org.apache.axis.description.ElementDesc();
        elemField.setFieldName("destinationIdsInfo");
        elemField.setXmlName(new javax.xml.namespace.QName("", "DestinationIdsInfo"));//IF I REMOVE THIS EVERY ELEMENT INSIDE THAT TAG WILL HAVE xmlns="".
        elemField.setXmlType(new javax.xml.namespace.QName("", "DestinationIdInfo"));
        elemField.setMinOccurs(0);
        elemField.setNillable(false);
        elemField.setItemQName(new javax.xml.namespace.QName("", "DestinationIdInfo"));
        ....
   }

This generates me an xml like this:

...
<DestinationIdsInfo xmlns="">
    <DestinationIdInfo id="xxxx"/>
</DestinationIdsInfo>
...

But i need

<DestinationIdsInfo>
    <DestinationIdInfo id="xxxx"/>
</DestinationIdsInfo>

How can i solve??

You should specify the same namespace URI for your nested elements:

elemField.setXmlName(new javax.xml.namespace.QName("http://myNamespace", 
                                                   "DestinationIdsInfo"))

(Ditto for DestinationIdInfo.)

It will then inherit the namespace from the containing element, which is why I believe you want.

See the XML namespaces specification section 6.2 for more information about namespace defaulting.
