Brian Minchau commented on XALANJ-2296: --------------------------------------- Ravi, you should be using the namespace aware methods when manipulating your DOM. Your XPath expression has prefixes and is clearly depending on namespaces. For example you should be using createElementNS, not createElement. Please change to using namespace aware APIs and post your results. This bug was triaged on July 11, 2006. > XPath API's does not recognize or find an element added in DOM object runtime. > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: XALANJ-2296 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XALANJ-2296 > Project: XalanJ2 > Type: Bug > Components: XPath, DTM, XPath-API, parse-or-compile > Versions: 2.4 > Environment: any [XP, Linux... never tried on Solaris, But I think it might > be true for solaris also] > Reporter: Ravindra Nandal > > I apologize for if I am making any mistake creating this bug... > Here it goes... > In our program we read an XML document from file and parse(DOM Parser) > against the DTD. We get the DOM Document object using parser to modify the > document, in this case we are adding new element at particular place in the > document, we are using XPath to search through the position where new element > to be inserted or added to. In the same program in another place it tries to > find the new element using XPath expression against the same DOM document > that has been modified above by XPath Evaluator API's, it does not find but > if you look in the document object the new element is there. I can find the > new element by normal DOM API like getElementByTagName() method... More over > I can traverse through the new element by executing an XPath expression to an > element that is around the new element. Again if I convert the modified DOM > document into text string and parse again through parser to get the new DOM > Document object... it works fine with new DOM document object... > I am not sure if I am able to explain everything here... Please drop me an > e-mail if you have any questions. I also not sure if this is a bug or there > is way to around this problem. > Please respond in either case. > Thanks, > - Ravi -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
