Hello there --
I am using the RDF metadata provided by the ODF 1.2 specification in
my ODT documents to record metadata.
So the metadata gets captured in the rdf: namespace , and the metadata
entities and objects within it get captured in their own namespace.
My problem is I am unable to access the RDF metadata using ODFDOM XPath.
e.g. -- I access the RDF metadata file via OdfFileDom (i have it in
meta/meta.rdf )
then I try to access it via XPath -- "//rdf:Description" , I always
get a namespace error ...
If I set the namespace on the XPath object or If i set it globally on
OdfNamespace:
OdfNamespace.newNamespace("rdf","....");
I am still unable to access it ...
Note : if I access it without the namespace "//*[local-name() =
'Description'] , it works .
So whats the correct way to set foreign namespaces in ODFDOM ?
thanks ,
Ashok
