Sorry, please ignore my previous e-mail. You already
provided the correct solution. I tried it and it
works.
One more last question. Is it always necessary to
specify the namespace in order for the XPath to work?
Is there a way for me to ignore the namespace and just
have the XPath work without looking at the namespace?
For example, what if I want the following XPath
"Document/[EMAIL PROTECTED]'Primary']/LOGIN/USERID"
to work on both the following XML documents:
An xml document not specifying any namespace
<Document>
<LOGIN_LIST filter="Primary">
<LOGIN>
<USERID>testuser1</USERID>
<PASSWORD>novell</PASSWORD>
</LOGIN>
</LOGIN_LIST>
</Document>
as well as those xml documents who happen to specify a
default namespace for the entire document, such as
<Document
xmlns="http://www.nget.com/coreapps/RunDVPRequest";>>
<LOGIN_LIST filter="Primary">
<LOGIN>
<USERID>testuser1</USERID>
<PASSWORD>novell</PASSWORD>
</LOGIN>
</LOGIN_LIST>
</Document>
Can't I use a single XPath
"Document/[EMAIL PROTECTED]'Primary']/LOGIN/USERID"
to work for both situations?
Thanks.
