Hi,
I'm having some issues searching documents within a default namespace.
if my document looks like
<node1 xmlns="http://foo.bar.com"; > <bar>content</bar> </node1>
I'd assume that I would do service.setNamespace( "", "xmlns="http://foo.bar.com"; )
or even
service.setNamespace( null, "xmlns="http://foo.bar.com"; )
neither of these work. However if I add a prefix to my document like:
<foo:node1 xmlns:foo="http://foo.bar.com"; > <foo:bar>content</foo:bar> </foo:node1>
and do service.setNamespace( "foo", "xmlns="http://foo.bar.com"; )
my query works fine. Unfortunately this isn't a solution for me.
I came across something in the archives which seemed to say that as long as I called setNamespace() with the location value, it didn't really matter what was passed as a prefix. I've tried this and it certainly doesn't work.
If anybody has some ideas on this I'd appreciate some feedback. It seems like a very common use-case. I'm sure I must be missing something. I'm using the 1.1b4 build.
I tried
bin\xindice xpath -c /db/test -n ns -s a=http://foo.bar.com -q "/a:foo/a:bar"
with the document above and it did not work. Seems like a bug. If you find a solution to it, send a patch to the dev list. In either case, you can use bugzilla to track this issue.
