Re: Xalan-c and xpath

[David N Bertoni/Cambridge/IBM]

Yes, it does.

However, you've given no information as to how you are invoking Xalan-C.
If you've wriiten a stylesheet, you might include a _short_ sample input
document and _short_ stylesheet which reproduces the problem.

If you're using the XPathEvaluator class, then you need to implement a
prefix resolver that maps the prefix to a namespace.  Otherwise, how is
Xalan supposed to figure out what you meant by the prefix "D?"

By the way, that looks something like a Xalan error message, but with some
modifications that aren't coming from the Xalan code.  Did you misquote the
error message, or is some other code producing them?

Hi All!

Does xalan-c support namespace in the xpath part??

My problem is that an xpath like this "count(/D:multistatus/D:response)"
returns an error:

XPath failure, check syntax in XPath Expression Unable to resolve prefix
'D'.
pattern = 'count(/D:multistatus/D:response)'
Remaining tokens: ('count' '(' '/')

Am I missing something or do I need to enable namespace support in
anyway??

Regards
Jacob

PS: Is there a users mailing list for xalan-c??
