    • getNameSpaceInfo

      public static String getNameSpaceInfo(SchemaHelper schemaHelper)
      Calculates the nameSpaceInfo attribute for item records. nameSpaceInfo is the stuff that goes in the root element of an Instance Document for this framework. The namespace information is stripped from instance documents when they are read into the editor because it makes working with the xml VERY much easier. But it must be added to the document again when it is written to disk, so we keep it here. Eventually the program will be smart enough to manage this process by itself, but for now we give it a crutch . . . This attribute is specified by the properties file.
      Parameters:
      schemaHelper - NOT YET DOCUMENTED
      Returns:
      The nameSpaceInfo value
