Olivier Roger commented on XALANJ-2549:
---------------------------------------
I also tried other queries without success, like:
# javax.xml.xpath.XPathExpression expression =
xpath.compile("/*[local-name()='report']/account_number");
# javax.xml.xpath.XPathExpression expression =
xpath.compile("/*[local-name()='report' and
namespace-uri()='http://www.mydomain.com/report']/account_number");
Removing the *xmlns attribute* from the report tag allows me to find the
correct result but is not my use case.
Adding a prefix to the namespace and using it also allows me to find the
correct result but is not my use case either.

> Project: XalanJ2
> Issue Type: Bug

> Components: Xalan
> Affects Versions: 2.7.1

> Hi,
>
> I am having difficulties to use XPath query on a XML dataset having its root
> element with an *xmlns attribute with no prefix*.
>
> In that specific case, the XPath query does not return the value. Since I
> have no prefix for the namespace I simply can get the value.
> It this a known issue or am I simply doing something wrong ?
> Here is my XML :
> {noformat:title=default-ns.xml}
> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
> <report xmlns="http://www.mydomain.com/report";>
> <account_number>123</account_number>
> </report>
> {noformat}
> {code}
> @Test
> public void xPathDefaultNS() throws XPathExpressionException {
> javax.xml.xpath.XPathFactory factory =
> javax.xml.xpath.XPathFactory.newInstance();
> javax.xml.xpath.XPath xpath = factory.newXPath();
> javax.xml.xpath.XPathExpression expression =
> xpath.compile("/report/account_number");
> String result = expression.evaluate(new
> org.xml.sax.InputSource(this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("default-ns.xml")));
> Assert.assertTrue("123".equals(result));
> }
> {code}
