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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
