rohit singh commented on XALANJ-2469: ------------------------------------- The actual version of xalan use d by us is XSLT4J Java 2.7.4 > Xpath support in Xalan does not work if default namespace is used > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: XALANJ-2469 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XALANJ-2469 > 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: 2.0.x > Environment: Windows, IBM WebSphere Application Server - ND, > 6.1.0.7 > Reporter: rohit singh > Priority: Blocker > Fix For: 2.0.x > > > We are trying to use path for example "/Invoice/InvoiceHeader/InvoiceParty" > as an X-Path expression. The XML document on which this xpath is evaluated > has a default namespace defined. This xpath expression does return the > specified elements value. I check the specification on xpath 1.0 on this url > http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath and got this text below > "There is an element node for every element in the document. An element node > has an expanded-name computed by expanding the QName of the element specified > in the tag in accordance with the XML Namespaces Recommendation [XML Names]. > The namespace URI of the element's expanded-name will be null if the QName > has no prefix and there is no applicable default namespace." > According to the above the xpath should work irrespective of whether we have > specified a default namespace or not. Please take this as a high priority and > fix this problem. -- 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]
