[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XALANJ-1790?page=all ]
Brian Minchau updated XALANJ-1790:
----------------------------------
Version: Latest Development Code
(was: 2.0.0)
> XPath ignores namespace declarations except on root element
> -----------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: XALANJ-1790
> URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XALANJ-1790
> Project: XalanJ2
> Type: Bug
> Components: XPath
> Versions: Latest Development Code
> Environment: Operating System: Windows NT/2K
> Platform: PC
> Reporter: Guy Rixon
> Assignee: Xalan Developers Mailing List
>
> By my reading of the XML standards, this document should be valid:
> <?xml version="1.0"?>
> <foo:Foo xmlns:foo="http://foo.com";>
> <bar:Bar xmlns:bar="http://bar.com"/>
> </foo:Foo>
> and I should be able to search for //bar:Bar using the XPath implementation
> in
> Xalan. However, if I make that search using the ApplyXPath sample, then I get
> a
> javax.xml.transformer.Exception saying "Prefix must resolve to a namespace:
> bar".
> If I change the XML to this:
> <?xml version="1.0"?>
> <foo:Foo xmlns:foo="http://foo.com";
> xmlns:bar="http://bar.com";>
> <bar:Bar xmlns:bar="http://bar.com"/>
> </foo:Foo>
> then the search works. In the original XML above, I can search for
> //foo:Foo,
> but if I wrap the whole structure in a <baz>...</baz> then the search for
> fooFoo
> fails.
> This is v2.5.2, BTW. Your menu of versions in Bugzilla doesn't have that one.
