Kind of, though a document can redefine prefixes <-> URI mappings throughout
the document, so you need to pick a node and get the namespaces available
there.
By default dom4j with inherit any namespace prefixes -> URIs that are
available in the source node on which XPaths occur. e.g. if you parsed this
document
<foo:root
xmlns:foo="http://www.foo.com/123";
xmlns:bar="http://somewhere.com/bar";>
<bar:one>
<bar:two>hello!</bar:two>
</bar:one>
</foo:root>
Then the following XPath expression on the document (or
document.getRootElement()) should work fine...
foo:root/bar:one/bar:two
