Message: [QUOTE="Dino Morelli, post: 769630"] I figured this out for myself. When constructing the DocumentBuilder to parse the XML, you must set up the DocumentBuilderFactory like this: DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance(); dbf.setNamespaceAware(true); ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ important part Then get your DocumentBuilder: DocumentBuilder db = dbf.newDocumentBuilder(); Document doc = db.parse(/* yada yada RTFM */); In order for subsequent XPath processing to be namespace aware. Then this is all that's necessary to use it: Node n = XPathAPI.selectSingleNode(doc, "/a/foo:b"); [/QUOTE]
