Packet Extensions with "non-normal" namespace?

I am trying to create a PacketExtension and Provider. The only problem I have is that the elements I need to parse don’‘t have a standard "xmlns=’‘something’’" namespace. The namespace I have is more like this: “xmlns:ds=’‘something’’”.

Is there a way to do this with a PacketExtension, or do I need to dig down into the guts of packet sending and receiving in order to get my data?

Duh. Of course I can. I just leave the “:ds” bit off of the declaration in smack.providers. Maybe it’‘s time to bruch up on the ol’’ XML.
