Summary: xpath fails to return results
Initial Comment:
I am having a issue using xpath. We are receiving a file from an external
vender. When we use xpath to parse the file, we don’t get any results.
Below is a brief example.
http://ACORD.org/Standards/Life/2";
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
xsi:schemaLocation="http://ACORD.org/Standards/Life/2 TXLife2.16.01.xsd">
abc1234567
The following code returns no result
List nodes = doc.selectNodes("//TransRefGUID");
I realize it's due to the default namespace declaration, but the file comes
from an external vendor and we have not control over it.
Is there a fix for this? Is there a work around? We have no control over the
incoming xml.

You should decorate all tag names with namespace prefix:
//x:[EMAIL PROTECTED]//x:Holding[child::x:[EMAIL PROTECTED] =
'3']]/x:Policy/x:Life/x:Coverage/x:LifeParticipant[child::x:[EMAIL
PROTECTED]'18']]/@PartyID]/x:Person/x:LastName

Ok, both of these solutions work for the simpler searches.
However, a number of the xpath statements I need to build are quite
complicated. For example to get the owners last name, I would use the
following.
//[EMAIL PROTECTED]//Holding[child::[EMAIL PROTECTED] =
'3']]/Policy/Life/Coverage/LifeParticipant[child::[EMAIL
PROTECTED]'18']]/@PartyID]/Person/LastName
I tried the following with no result
//x:[EMAIL PROTECTED]//x:Holding[child::[EMAIL PROTECTED] =
'3']]/Policy/Life/Coverage/LifeParticipant[child::[EMAIL
PROTECTED]'18']]/@PartyID]/Person/LastName
Here is a trimmed version of the XML. Please note, I may have numerous
holdings and numerous parties. I need to use the type codes and ids to
relate the two and get the correct name.

Hi Mike,
As you say the issue is the default namespace - the way around this is to
use an explicit namespace in the xpath query. The prefix in the query has
no bearing in the actual query so the following demo show how to do this

Use DocumentFactory for creating document and set it's namespace map for
XPath:
namespaces.put("default", "http://ACORD.org/Standards/Life/2";);
DocumentFactory documentFactory = DocumentFactory.getInstance();
documentFactory.setXPathNamespaceURIs(namespaces);
reader = new SAXReader(documentFactory);
Than you can use "default" as prefix for your namespace:
List nodes = doc.selectNodes("//default:TransRefGUID");
You can try empty prefix:
namespaces.put("", "http://ACORD.org/Standards/Life/2";);
but I can't remember if this works.
