Answer 1

You can use xslt for that. Try

removeNs.xslt

Sample.java

import java.io.File;

import javax.xml.transform.Source;
import javax.xml.transform.Transformer;
import javax.xml.transform.TransformerConfigurationException;
import javax.xml.transform.TransformerException;
import javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource;

public class Sample {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try{
            TransformerFactory factory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
        Source xslt = new StreamSource(new File("removeNs.xslt"));
        Transformer transformer = factory.newTransformer(xslt);

        Source text = new StreamSource(new File("data.xml"));
        transformer.transform(text, new StreamResult(new File("output.xml")));
        System.out.println("Done");
        } catch (TransformerConfigurationException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (TransformerException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

}
