Ant xmltask adding a blank xmlns=""

Below is the complete ant target which I am running to insert the driver to my wildfly standalone.xml:

<target name="xmlrewrite" >
    <!--Driver-->
    <taskdef name="xmltask" classname="com.oopsconsultancy.xmltask.ant.XmlTask"/>
    <xmltask source="standalone.xml" dest="standalone.xml" report="true">
        <copy path="//driver[@module='com.oracle.ojdbc6']/text()" property="modelexists"/>
        <insert
            path="*[local-name()='server']/*[local-name()='profile']/*[local-name()='subsystem'][3]/*[local-name()='datasources']/*[local-name()='drivers']" 
            unless="modelexists">
            <![CDATA[
                <driver name="oracle" module="com.oracle.ojdbc6">
                <driver-class>oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver</driver-class>
                </driver>
            ]]>
        </insert>
    </xmltask>
</target>

As per my understanding, the entry should be made in the standalone.xml only if it is not already present, since i am using unless="modelexists".

But apparently it is making a new entry for oracle driver with an additional xmlns="", which makes two entries of oracle and this causes my build to fail.

Please let me know if you would need any more info.

To solve the problem with the new entry for oracle driver with an additional xmlns="" you have to provide the namespace (found at the root element in the xml) for the node driver in the CDATA section:

<driver xmlns="namespace_for_this_xml" name="oracle" module="com.oracle.ojdbc6">
    <driver-class>oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver</driver-class>
</driver>

I'm guessing the standalone.xml file is related to JBoss. The XML elements in a JBoss standalone.xml are in XML namespaces. So, the <copy> element nested under <xmltask> will need to be namespace-aware:

<copy path="//*[local-name()='driver' and @module='com.oracle.ojdbc6']/text()" property="modelexists"/>
