RE: XPathQueryService & namespaces

[Timothy M. Dean]

Title: Message

Yes, the XPath query can contain references to these namespace prefixes. For example, if my DB documents contain top-level elements called "MyElement" that are associated with the namespace http://www.mydomain.com/MyNamespace, then I could select those nodes in an XPath query using something like "/ns:MyElement", and then associate the prefix "ns" to the desired URI.   Note that at the current time, it does not appear that this mechanism works when you set a default namespace. However, it does work well when mapping specific prefixes to a namespace URI.   - Tim   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Merrells Sent: Saturday, January 05, 2002 4:26 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: XPathQueryService & namespaces   This service provides a bunch of methods for setting up a mapping of namespace prefixes to uris. But I don't understand what these are supposed to be used for.... Might the XPath query contain references to these namespaces...?   John
