I am programmatically generating an XML object hierarchy and then using what I produced as a template for other work. I make a copy of the template structure (using XmlObject.copy() at the root node) and then attempt to locate a specific node within the structure so that I can then edit the structure (change element content, or add/remove elements). I'm having a problem getting the search to work. I'm pretty sure I have all the necessary jar files in the build path (probably more than I need).
When I inspect the XML of the object tree, it appears to have set the default namespace (i.e. the root node contains: "xmlns:www.xyz.org" - no prefix). The elements are rendered with no namespace prefix as well. When I was doing some earlier experimenting, I was parsing an existing XML file and in this case, there was a namespace prefix in use, and I was able to successfully "locate" elements. Now I cannot, and I don't know why. Should I "turn on" a namespace prefix? Is there some special XmlOption that I should set? Any ideas? -- View this message in context: http://xmlbeans.996285.n3.nabble.com/Difficulties-with-using-XPath-to-find-an-element-tp7505.html Sent from the XMLBeans User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@xmlbeans.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@xmlbeans.apache.org
