Hi, you are rigth. The problem does only appear when I'm creating a new document in memory and then execute the mentioned XPath query. If I read an existing XML document, like your example class b2, everything is all right.
So, is this behaviour normal to newly-created documents and if yes, is the only alternative solution to store the document and then read it again before executing the XPath query ? -- Andreas > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: Mike Skells [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Gesendet: Mittwoch, 28.
