Re: [dom4j-user] getting started with dom4j

Hi David,

It's ok now, thanks for your help.

But I have another problem, when I do this:

XPath xp=DocumentHelper.createXPath("//rect");
List list=xp.selectNodes(document);

 

the list is empty but it should not, because there is rect elements in my xml file.

And if I use this:

 

XPath xp=DocumentHelper.createXPath("//*[name()='rect']");
List list=xp.selectNodes(document);

the list is not empty. And i think the expressions: //rect and //*[name()='rect'] are equivalent, or am i wrong??

 

Thanks for your help.

Bader
