That's why I would recommend to always use a specific namespace prefix mapping in your code.
Like: HashMap map = new HashMap(); map.put( "test", "http://www.kremsresearch.at/tai";); DocumentFactory.getInstance().setXPathNamespaceURIs( map); Allows you to perform the next XPath search: document.selectSingleNode("//test:[EMAIL PROTECTED]" + id + "]"); This will still return the root element as before, even if you have a different prefix defined for this namespace.
