XPathWrapper is meant as a demonstration sample, not as production code. It has the limitation that any namespace bindings you use must be declared on the document element. > theXPathProcessor.initXPath(*contextXPath, > theXPathConstructionContext, > XalanDOMString(strQuery.c_str()), > ElementPrefixResolverProxy(rootElem, theEnvSupport, theDOMSupport)); > > XObjectPtr xObj = contextXPath->execute(currentNode, > ElementPrefixResolverProxy(rootElem, theEnvSupport, theDOMSupport), > theExecutionContext); You do exactly what XPathWrapper does -- you create an ElementPrefixResolverProxy and give it the document element. So, the only namespace bindings available are those declared on that element. What you need is another implementation of the PrefixResolver abstract base class that knows about the prefixes and namespace URIs you are interested in. You can implement your own, or you can use an instance of XalanDocumentPrefixResolver, if you want to make all of the namespace bindings in the entire document available. Beware, however, that this is less efficient than creating your own PrefixResolver that only knows about the prefixes you are interested in. Also, XalanDocumentPrefixResolver does not work well when a document contains multiple namespace declarations for the same prefix, but with different namespace URIs. Dave
