Hello! I don't understand the conept of the XPath class in dom4j. To find an xpath with namespaces like
"SOAP-ENV:Envelope/SOAP-ENV:Header/ns1:services" I need to build an XPath object and add a map of namespaces with prefix and uri to it. so I add in the example above SOAP-ENV - http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/ ns1 - http://schemas.biztalk.org/btf-2-0/endpoints Than I will find the node if I execute the XPath. This is okay! But in an XML document there could be different namespaces with the same prefix in different branches. An Example: |<?xml version="1.0"?> <!-- initially, the default namespace is "books" --> <book xmlns='urn:loc.gov:books' xmlns:isbn='urn:ISBN:0-395-36341-6'> <title>Cheaper by the Dozen</title> <isbn:number>1568491379</isbn:number> <notes> <!-- make HTML the default namespace for some commentary --> <p xmlns='urn:w3-org-ns:HTML'> This is a <i>funny</i> book! </p> </notes> </book> ||There are two default namespaces. I could not use an dom4j XPath to find a node here, because I could not add two times the same prefix (entry will be overwritten in map). (It is the same if this is not a default namespace, but has a prefix.) ||| What is the concept to handle such documents? -- Viele Grüße / best regards Marc Pellmann - System Architect _______________________________ inubit - integrating your business and IT inubit AG Lützowstraße 105-106 D-10785 Berlin Fon: +49.30. 72 61 12-132 Fax: +49.30. 72 61 12-100 Freecall: 0800-go inubit Web: www.inubit.com ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
