I'll have to look into it further before I can diagnose exactly what is going on. I am working with the latest Xindice code from CVS, and I was still encountering the problem. When I was looking at some other namespace problems, it looked to me that something wierd was going on in the Xalan DefaultPrefixResolver class, but it definitely could be somewhere deeper (such as in the Xerces 2 code).
I have temporarily worked around the problem by not using default namespaces in my node selection for XUpdates. This is an easy enough workaround for now, but I wanted to look into the problem a bit deeper when I get the chance. Knowing which Xalan and/or Xerces code bases are currently included in the Xindice CVS repository would be helpful for me... - Tim > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Murray Altheim > Sent: Friday, January 04, 2002 1:30 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Xalan version (was xpath query problem) > > > "Timothy M.
