Henry Zongaro commented on XALANJ-2469:
---------------------------------------
Hi, Rohit. Sorry for my delay in responding. If you defined the prefix abc,
an element node with a local name of Invoice should have been selected by
/abc:Invoice, so long as it was in the same namespace specified by the prefix
abc, regardless of the prefix actually used on the element node.
Do you have a complete sample test case that demonstrates what you described?
Thanks,
Henry

> We are trying to use path for example "/Invoice/InvoiceHeader/InvoiceParty"
> as an X-Path expression. The XML document on which this xpath is evaluated
> has a default namespace defined. This xpath expression does return the
> specified elements value. I check the specification on xpath 1.0 on this url
> http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath and got this text below
> "There is an element node for every element in the document. An element node
> has an expanded-name computed by expanding the QName of the element specified
> in the tag in accordance with the XML Namespaces Recommendation [XML Names].
> The namespace URI of the element's expanded-name will be null if the QName
> has no prefix and there is no applicable default namespace."
> According to the above the xpath should work irrespective of whether we have
> specified a default namespace or not. Please take this as a high priority and
> fix this problem.
