Andreas Veithen resolved WSCOMMONS-333.
---------------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
> Add an addNamespaces(OMElement) method to AXIOMXPath
> ----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: WSCOMMONS-333
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WSCOMMONS-333
> Project: WS-Commons
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: AXIOM
> Reporter: Andreas Veithen
> Assignee: Andreas Veithen
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: Axiom 1.2.8

>
> Very often, XPath expressions are read from XML configuration files, in which
> case such an XPath expression typically appears as an attribute value. In
> this case the namespace context of the XPath expression is determined by the
> namespace declarations in scope on the element which has the attribute in
> which the expression occurs.
> Example:
> <configfile xmlns:ns="http://example.org";>
> <someelement expression="//ns:something"/>
> </configfile>
> In this case, the "ns" prefix in the expression "//ns:something" is expected
> to be bound to "http://example.org";. It would be useful to have a method
> addNamespaces(OMElement) in AXIOMXPath that sets up the namespace context of
> the XPath expression based on the namespace declaration of the given
> OMElement (corresponding to "someelement" in the example above).
> There is already some code in Synapse that does this (see the addNameSpaces
> method):
> http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/synapse/trunk/java/modules/core/src/main/java/org/apache/synapse/config/xml/OMElementUtils.java
> Since this might be useful to others, AXIOMXPath would be a better place to
> have this code.
