“xmlns” means “XML namespace”. In such a namespace document you can define the elements you want to use in your document. For example, XHTML is a namespace of an XML document (you might have noticed the xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" on the <html> element in XHTML documents). If you have similarly named elements in your XML document you can differentiate them by assigning a namespace. Wikipedia has a good article about that.

I see, so what does it do to effect the xml,
eg I have an xml which points to

http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserv...elWarrAndMain/
should it not point to
http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserv...arrAndMain.xsd
instead because that is where the schema info is?

Actually whatever coding a person would have done in his MVC or JSP pages, the same thing gets stored to XML and then while redirecting the page, it points to the page from where it has been taken from.

it allows you to define and validate namespaces separately (even use the same names in different namespaces)
