Category: None Group: None Status: Open Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Michael (mthenderson) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: xpath fails to return results Initial Comment: I am having a issue using xpath. We are receiving a file from an external vender. When we use xpath to parse the file, we don’t get any results. Below is a brief example. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <TXLife Version="2.16.01" xmlns="http://ACORD.org/Standards/Life/2"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:schemaLocation="http://ACORD.org/Standards/Life/2 TXLife2.16.01.xsd"> <TXLifeRequest> <TransRefGUID>abc1234567</TransRefGUID> </TXLifeRequest> </TXLife> The following code returns no result List nodes = doc.selectNodes("//TransRefGUID"); I realize it's due to the default namespace declaration, but the file comes from an external vendor and we have not control over it. Is there a fix for this? Is there a work around? We have no control over the incoming xml.
