Hi Jim, >> How do I declare and pass the method selectSingleNode() a namespace two ways:
1) Using XPathAPI.selectSingleNode(Node contextNode, String str, Node namespaceNode), where "namespaceNode" contains namespaces declarations, i.e. has "xmlns:X" attributes. 2) Using XPathAPI.eval(Node contextNode, String str, PrefixResolver prefixResolver), where you'll have your own implementation of PrefixResolver which will map namespace to prefix. thanks, Dimitry -----Original Message----- From: Jim Maskus [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 24, 2003 13:55 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: XpathAPI and namespaces Source <dsl:select-list-set xmlns:dsl="http://www.applyweb.com/dsl";> <dsl:select-list name="MAJOR" id="Major" /> <dsl:select-list name="DEGREE" id="Degree" /> </dsl:select-list-set> I'm trying to query a DOM tree in Java as follows... // Set up a DOM tree to query.
