Not horribly ugly -- you just have to remember to map the _namespaces_ in your XPath, not just to use corresponding prefixes. The same complication arises if the XML document redeclared a prefix; you need to use separate prefixes for the two different namespace URIs when writing your XPath. For an overview of how to deal with this, see http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/faq.html#faq-N101B9 (I do wish XPath had a non-prefix-based version of its syntax. It'd be extremely wordy, but it'd be a lot more robust and easier to generate. I'm considering proposing that they add that alternative in XPath 2.0...) ______________________________________ Joe Kesselman / IBM Research --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
