CLONE -XPath ignores namespace declarations except on root element
------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: XALANJ-2455
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XALANJ-2455
             Project: XalanJ2
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: No security risk; visible to anyone (Ordinary problems in 
Xalan projects.  Anybody can view the issue.)
          Components: XPath
    Affects Versions: 2.5Dx
         Environment: Operating System: Windows NT/2K
Platform: PC
            Reporter: Romeu Flores
            Assignee: Xalan Developers Mailing List


By my reading of the XML standards, this document should be valid:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<foo:Foo xmlns:foo="http://foo.com";>
  <bar:Bar  xmlns:bar="http://bar.com"/>
</foo:Foo>

and I should be able to search for //bar:Bar using the XPath implementation in 
Xalan. However, if I make that search using the ApplyXPath sample, then I get a 
javax.xml.transformer.Exception saying "Prefix must resolve to a namespace: 
bar".

If I change the XML to this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<foo:Foo xmlns:foo="http://foo.com";
         xmlns:bar="http://bar.com";>
  <bar:Bar  xmlns:bar="http://bar.com"/>
</foo:Foo>

then the search works.  In the original XML above, I can search for //foo:Foo, 
but if I wrap the whole structure in a <baz>...</baz> then the search for 
fooFoo 
fails.

This is v2.5.2, BTW. Your menu of versions in Bugzilla doesn't have that one.
