thanks a lot for your help. The problem is that I had a WAS upgrade from 7 to 8.5. Before the upgrade this was a typical answer:
<SoftwareProductResponse xmlns="http://w3.ibm.com/xmlns/ibmww/expt/ProductTaxonomyInformation/v1.0"> <softwareProducts> <productName>WebSphere Application Server</productName> <productSynonym> <productSource>masterSoftwareIndex</productSource> <productName>WebSphere Application Server</productName> </productSynonym>... ... .. .
And after the WAS upgrade I get the following, notice the prefix "a:" in some tags:
<a:SoftwareProductResponse xmlns:a="http://w3.ibm.com/xmlns/ibmww/expt/ProductTaxonomyInformation/v1.0"> <softwareProducts> <a:productName>WebSphere Application Server</a:productName> <productSynonym> <a:productSource>masterSoftwareIndex</a:productSource> <a:productName>WebSphere Application Server</a:productName> </productSynonym>... ... ..
The consumers of this response are too many and I can't ask them to modify their clients to process this new prefixes so I have tried several things trying to completely remove any prefix with no success. I know this is because I have two different namespaces and seems that WAS 8 automatically creates the a and b prefixes. But, why didn't prefixes bother me before in WAS 7?
One important questions is: is it possible to get rid of any prefix when multiple namespaces are in question?

What can I do to remove all prefixes?
Thanks!
