I've added this to CVS. So now there is a setXPathNamespaceUris(Map) method
on DocumentFactory where you can register whatever namespace prefixes -> uri
mappings you like, then when XPath expressions are evaluated on documents
associated with the DocumentFactory the namespace prefixes will be used.
I've added a test case to org.dom4j.TestNamespace called
testNamespaceUriMap() which demonstrates this in action. Here's a snippet of
code that demonstrates it in action...
// register namespace prefix->uri mappings with factory
Map uris = new HashMap();
uris.put( "x", "fooNamespace" );
uris.put( "y", "barNamespace" );
DocumentFactory factory = new DocumentFactory();
factory.setXPathNamespaceURIs( uris );
// parse or create a document
SAXReader reader = new SAXReader();
reader.setDocumentFactory( factory );
Document doc = reader.read( "foo.xml" );
// evaluate XPath using registered namespace prefixes
// which may not appear in the document, though the URIs should
String value = doc.valueOf( "/x:pizza/y:cheese/x:pepper" );
