Wow, people have been dealing with this name space issue in Witango and DOM, for years usually Witango crash on a DOM statement just trying to load in a document with namespaces, prior to even being able to get to the doing XPath. This must be a recent fix to being able to read it in at all.
Humm, Interesting, I heard it was well know library, so now we know. So in essence you're telling us to refer to Xerces manual, we aren't going to publish and kind of docs. Well excuse me for trying to help, no one else was, Ok from now on I will RTF(Xerces)M Ben -----Original Message----- From: Phil Wade [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 26, 2006 5:21 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Witango-Talk: Parsing DOM Response for element by name Actually Ben the DOM and XPath implementations are the Xerces library from the Apache project. Last time I looked it implemented namespaces quite well. All you need to do is learn and understand how to write xpath expressions correctly. It is a little more complex than XPointer. Namespace example below. <@ASSIGN request$testDOM "<@DOM VALUE='<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";> <soap:Body> <LogonResponse xmlns="http://www.munge.com/WebService/ABAService";> <LogonResult>c8c799bb-3640-46f0-a0a3-b7105b5b646a</LogonResult> </LogonResponse> </soap:Body> </soap:Envelope>'>"> <@ELEMENTVALUE request$testDOM xpath="//*[local-name()='LogonResult' and namespace-uri()='http://www.munge.com/WebService/ABAService']" encoding="html"> <@VAR request$testDOM xpath="//*[local-name()='LogonResult' and namespace-uri()='http://www.munge.com/WebService/ABAService']" encoding="html"> Regards Phil On 27/04/2006, at 5:06 AM, Ben Johansen wrote: > It has been my experience that Witango DOM doen't like name spaces > (ie. > Soapenv:Envelope).
