You will have to specify a prefix for your mapping: > Map namespaces = new TreeMap(); > namespaces.put("", "http://nasd.com/SharedServices/FUSS/FUSSDATA.xsd");
namespaces.put("test", "http://nasd.com/SharedServices/FUSS/FUSSDATA.xsd"); And in the xpath expression you should use this prefix: > sJobXpath = "//*" + "/fussreport_"; sJobXpath = "//*" + "/test:fussreport_"; Regards, Edwin -- http://www.edankert.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
