Eg: XPath theBs = new XPath("//x:bbb"); theBs.addNamespace("x", http://localhost:8080);
Element b = (Element)theBx.selectSingleNode(myDoc); Note that the element in the original document does not have to be prefixed with an "x", nor does the prefix in the code above have to be "x" - the XPath namespace is arbitrary, it just needs to be there so that Jaxen can tell which element you're after.
