[dom4j-user] Parsing namespaces .... how d'you do it?

Tue, 17 May 2005 08:28:45 -0700

Hello there.

 

I wonder if someone could help me out here. 

 

I’m trying to parse an XML file, using DOM4J/XPath, and I’m having trouble with the namespaces defined in the file:

 

<PensionSchemeReturnRequest

    xmlns="http://www.pensions.gov.uk/EconomicsAndFinance/Personal/Pensions/Regulation"

    xmlns:govADP="http://www.pensions.gov.uk/people/AddressAndPersonalDetails"

    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

    xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.pensions.gov.uk/EconomicsAndFinance/Personal/Pensions/Regulation \OccupationalPensionSchemeReturnRequest-v1.3.xsd"

    regulatoryReference="57437337">

  <PensionSchemeDetails>

    <PensionSchemeRegistryNumber>10000047</PensionSchemeRegistryNumber>

    <Name>John Smith</Name>

    <Address AddressUsage="work">

      <UKaddress>

        <govADP:Line>Code House</govADP:Line>

        <govADP:Line>Smith Streett</govADP:Line>

        <govADP:Line>Deaconsfield</govADP:Line>

        <govADP:PostCode>DE1 TR5P</govADP:PostCode>

      </UKaddress>

    </Address>

  </PensionSchemeDetails>

</PensionSchemeReturnRequest>

 

… with this bit of code:

 

        Node registyNumber = document.selectSingleNode("//PensionSchemeDetails/PensionSchemeRegistryNumber");

        Node name = document.selectSingleNode("//PensionSchemeDetails/Name");

        Node addressLine1 = document.selectSingleNode("//PensionSchemeDetails/Address/UKaddress/Line[1]");

        Node addressLine2 = document.selectSingleNode("//PensionSchemeDetails/Address/UKaddress/Line[2]");

        Node addressLine3 = document.selectSingleNode("//PensionSchemeDetails/Address/UKaddress/Line[3]");

        Node addressLine4 = document.selectSingleNode("//PensionSchemeDetails/Address/UKaddress/Line[4]");

        Node addressLine5 = document.selectSingleNode("//PensionSchemeDetails/Address/UKaddress/Line[5]");

        Node postcode = document.selectSingleNode("//PensionSchemeDetails/Address/UKaddress/PostCode");

 

If I strip out all the namespace stuff, it works OK.

 

How do I parse XML files that are namespaced to the hilt ….

 

Thanks in advance
