I ran into this same problem – it occurs when parsing a SOAP response and there is an attribute with a URI. The JBoss code that causes the exception is in the org.jboss.axis.message.SOAPElementAxisImpl at line 724. The 4.0.2 source code I downloaded shows this (starting with line 712):

Code:

if (uri != null && uri.trim().length() > 0)
{
// filterring out the tricky method to differentiate the null namespace
// -ware case
if (uri.equals("intentionalNullURI"))

if (qname.startsWith("xmlns:") == false && qname.startsWith("xsi:") == false)
qname = "xmlns:" + qname;

Attr attr = doc.createAttributeNS(uri, qname);
attr.setValue(value);
domAttributes.setNamedItemNS(attr);
}

What happens is that any attribute with a URI, say for example, "POS:lineTotal" ends up being passed to the Document.createAttributeNS method as "xmlns:POS:lineTotal".
