Opendaylight netconf parser removes namespaces in anyxml container before sending request to router

When sending the following restconf request to ODL, it looks like the parser is stripping off the second xmlns attribute.  

Post request: 

http://<ODL-Server>:8181/restconf/operations/network-topology:network-topology/topology/topology-netconf/node/<Device>/yang-ext:mount/tailf-actions:action/input/

<action xmlns="http://tail-f.com/ns/netconf/actions/1.0">
<data>
<hw-module xmlns="http://www.cisco.com/ns/yang/Cisco-IOS-XR-sysadmin-hw-module">
<oper>
<location>
<location>all</location>
<actions>
<reload/>
</actions>
</location>
</oper>
</hw-module>
</data>
</action>

When checking the ODL logs seeing it removes the second xmlns.

request: <rpc message-id="m-1408" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">

<action xmlns="http://tail-f.com/ns/netconf/actions/1.0">

<data>

    <hw-module>

      <oper>

        <location>

          <location>all</location>

          <actions>

            <reload/>

          </actions>

        </location>

      </oper>

    </hw-module>

  </data>

</action>

</rpc>

The following raw netconf-yang rpc works:

<rpc message-id="edcfd773-daac-4fdd-9867-053d4742d453" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">
  <data>
    <hw-module xmlns="http://www.cisco.com/ns/yang/Cisco-IOS-XR-sysadmin-hw-module">
      <oper>
        <location>
          <location>all</location>
          <actions>
            <reload/>
          </actions>
        </location>
      </oper>
    </hw-module>
  </data>
</action>
</rpc> 

In the yang file the input rpc action is defined as:

  rpc action {

    description

      "Support Tail-F actions rpc format.";

 

    reference "RFC 6241, Section 7.1";

 

    input

Unknown macro: {       anyxml data Unknown macro}

    }
