Hi, I've been working on a Jaxen Navigator for a library I'm working on. The library is for Jabber (http://www.jabber.org), and I have a question on the way the default namespace is handled.
First, some background. Jabber is basically a continuous stream of XML, and uses namespaces everywhere. For all practical purposes, "everything" encountered in a Jabber XML stream is namespaced. So, given the following (full document example) XML: <stream:stream xmlns:stream='http://etherx.jabber.org/streams' xmlns='jabber:client' from='outer-planes.net' id='someid'> <message from='[EMAIL PROTECTED]/jso-bot' to='[EMAIL PROTECTED]' type='chat'> <thread>12345678</thread> <body>This is a test</body> <x xmlns='jabber:x:oob'> <desc>Test URL</desc> <url>http://slashdot.org</url> </x> </message> </stream:stream> I tried to use the XPath "/message/body", and got back nothing (which I expected). When I tried setting a mapping for the prefix "" (which is the only way I see to specify the default namespace) in the NamespaceContext (via XPath.addNamespace(prefix, uri)), I still got back nothing. Looking at the code for 1.0-FCS, there seems to be no attempt to even resolve a default namespace, other than changing the expression to something like the following: /*[(local-name()='message')and(namespace-uri()='jabber:client')]/*[(local-name()='body')and(namespace-uri()='jabber:client')] Which, after talking to a few of my users, would be considered unacceptable. I guess what I'm ultimately asking is if there's any plans to specify and resolve to the default namespace. I made a hack to the FCS code to look for a namespace URI for the prefix "", and modified my FunctionContext and VariableContext to "fall-back" to a null namespace if their lookups fail. I have a very deep suspicion I'm going about this all wrong. Any advice would be greatly appreciative, -- Matt "Linuxwolf" Miller - Got "JABBER"? (http://www.jabbercentral.org/)
