Hello all
I have a newbie question related to Xpath _expression_ and Namspaces.
Here goes :
I have an XHTML page. It looks like this :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-7"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns:bla="http://bla" xmlns:jx="http://apache.org/cocoon/templates/jx/1.0">
<head>
<title>title</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Style-Type" content="text/css" />
.
.
.
Then I pass it through the JXTemplate generator, which changes it to the xml that look like this :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns:bla="http://bla" xmlns:jx="http://apache.org/cocoon/templates/jx/1.0" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>title</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Style-Type" content="text/css"/>
.
.
.
As you see, the default namespace http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml was added to the html declaration. Now - when I try to match a template in this xml document - I.E. " //head " the Xpath doesn’t find the node - because it is actually connected to the default namespace, and Xpath will not return the <head> element. I think that for Xpath there is no such thing as default namespace.
I know I can use the Xpath _expression_ with *[1] and etc to reach the desired node- but this is not very elegant.
So my question is - What should be done in this case ?
Should I have the JXTemplate generator to not add the defualt namespace ? How ?
Or maybe this is not the right direction ?
Thanks
