When i declare a default namespace for my xml document, my XPath
expressions
no longer work. For the following xml document, which i cut off for the
sake
of brevity, the expression "/invoice/header/dealer/LocationCode/text()"
worked fine. But as soon as i declared the default namespace, as seen
below,
it no longer returns any nodes. I'm using the code:

             Node blah =
XPathAPI.selectSingleNode(e,"/invoice/header/dealer/LocationCode/text()");
             System.out.println(blah.getNodeValue());

Any suggestions/solutions would be appreciated,

Mark
