/*[local-name()='elementName']-syntax did the trick.
Fine!
I don't like how the XPaths look either, but at least they match the right nodes. AFAIK the next version of XPath will be somewhat less unwieldy with regard to namespaces, but it may take a while before we can take advantage of the new features.
BTW. Please let the list know, when your problem is solved be it by picking up a suggestion or by your own investigation. That way 1. others may benefit of the same solution and 2. no more suggestions dealing with the issue get posted on a thread that can be closed.
Thanx,
Heiner

Ritesh,
leaving the namepaceAware on true and use some ugly XPath like "//*[local-name()='Header']/*[local-name()='SenderInfo']/*[local-name()='Send erID']" will match the node you would have called "//Header/SenderInfo/SenderID" in absence of namespaces.
Sadly it matches nodes even in the wrong namespace, but that is usualy not a problem, because its not common to mix the same element names from different namespaces.
Dont know if it works in your case, but I would give it a try.

Hello All,
(Raul, Berin, someone listen to me ...)
I have managed to generated the XML DSig and embed it into the required>
document at the location desired
(There is a requirement for the dsig element to be present at a fixed location in the document)
Now when I try to verify the signature, obviously I have to select the element using xpath
If the DocumentBuilderFactory object is set to *namespaceAware**(**true)*, the xpath just wont evaluate, coz of namespace problems
(I ve tried a lot of things from my limited knowledge, but it just wont>
evaluate)
It evaluates when the *namespaceAware**(**false) *, but then it throws this error
org.apache.xml.security.exceptions.XMLSecurityException: Cannot create a>
null:null from a http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#:Signature element
What is the way out?
I have this code due for delivery like real soon, can someone please take time out and lemme know how to get it to work ?
I ve completely run out of ideasssssss
Best Always,
