Here is what it might look like:
QName dcAuthorQName = QName.get("dc:author","urlyyy");
String author = doc.elementText(dcAuthorQName);There are several different ways to get the QName. This was just one example. It depends on your needs. This will be faster than doing an XPath select.
Enjoy! Dave

I know a variant of this question has come up before, but I couldn't find it in a search of the archives. Assume I have a file structured something like this:
<doc xmlns:xx="urlxx" xmlns:dc="urlyyy" xmlns="urlns">
<title>My Book</title>
<date>My Date</date>
<dc:author>My Author</dc:author>
</doc>
If I convert it to a DOM, I can operate on it easily:
String title = doc.elementText("title");
String date = doc.elementText("date");
However, when I get to the author element, the only way I can make work is:
String author = doc.selectSingleNode("*[local-name() = 'author']").getText();
