Guys,
thanks for the help.
I found my problem.
I was using the selectSingleNode() API instead of using the evaluate() API
directly.
Now that I'm using evaluate() everything works fine.
Ori.

Hi,
I’m using xalan-1_11 and I’m trying to extract the XML element node *name* of a
given XML.
I searched the web and found several options – none are working with Xalan.
Here is the XML I have:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Envelope>
<Body>
<RetrieveWalletInformation>
<Originator>string</Originator>
<UserData>
<UserID>1</UserID>
<MVNOID>1</MVNOID>
<LREId>1</LREId>
<CountryCode>string</CountryCode>
</UserData>
<BodyData>
<PortInReq>string</PortInReq>
<MVNOID1>1</MVNOID1>
</BodyData>
</RetrieveWalletInformation>
</Body>
</Envelope>
Here an expression I tried for extracting the node name ‘PortInReq’:
local-name(/Envelope/Body/RetrieveWalletInformation/BodyData/*[1])
The expression evaluates well when testing in external website such as
http://xpath.online-toolz.com/tools/xpath-editor.php
The XPath expression
'name(/Envelope/Body/RetrieveWalletInformation/BodyData/*[1]'
appears to work for me. Is 'local-name()' a valid XPath function for version
1.1?

Am I doing something wrong or that it is not supported by Xalan?

Ori.
