Xalan 2.7.0, JDK 1.4.2, WebLogic 8.1.4. I'm trying to write xpath validation expressions for the following SOAP message (slightly edited). I could use some help understanding what I'm seeing here, and how to make this work well.
---------------- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?> <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";> <soapenv:Body> <ReportResponse xmlns="http://...";> <ReportUrl>https://.../Test%20Portfolio.csv</ReportUrl> <Warnings/><Errors/> </ReportResponse> </soapenv:Body> </soapenv:Envelope> ---------------- I'm processing this with code like this: ---------------- SOAPPart soapPart = message.getSOAPPart(); Source xmlSource = soapPart.getContent(); TransformerFactory transformerFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance(); Transformer transformer = transformerFactory.newTransformer(); DOMResult domResult = new DOMResult(); transformer.transform(xmlSource, domResult); Node node = domResult.getNode(); System.out.println("node[" + node + "]"); Element documentElement = ((Document) node).getDocumentElement(); for (Iterator iter = xpathStrs.iterator(); iter.hasNext(); ) { String xpathStr = (String) iter.next(); XObject object = XPathAPI.eval(documentElement, xpathStr, node); System.out.println("object[" + object + "]"); } ---------------- When I evaluate this expression: /soapenv:Envelope It fails, saying that "soapenv" must resolve to a namespace. I then tried instead: /env:Envelope This works (the Xobject is not null). I'm not sure why this works, and the other one does not. Next, I tried the expression: /env:Envelope/env:Body/ReportResponse This fails. I'm guessing it has something to do with the fact that I'm trying to use the default namespace, but I think referencing no prefix in Xpath means to use "no namespace", which isn't the same thing. What's going on here, and what do I need to do differently?
