Sorry, the Report versus report was just a spelling mistake in my mail.
I have read the XPathAPI JavaDoc; the issue is not that I don't know how
to call it but it does not behave the way I'd expect it to.

Betreff: Re: [xsl] XPathAPI: How to associate namespaces
Dear list,
I found the recent posting attached, but the thread
ended there. This is
about Xalan-J 2.x, so I am not too sure if it belongs
here, but I'll try.
Q: I have a document with the root element being in a
default namespace:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Report xmlns="http://abc.com/abc/abc";;>
<Type>memo</Type>
<Type>rep</Type>
<Link name="xyz">123</Link>
</Report>
I would like to extract just the Link from that
document trying to use
XPathAPI.selectNodeList(myDoc,"/report/link")
I don't know anything about XPathAPI, but by just
looking at the two items you posted you are using the
wrong case. Meaning "/report/link" is not the same as
"/Report/Link" - just as Torsten is not the same as
torsten (perhaps you have been spoiled :)
will return an empty result set.
Using
XPathAPI.selectNodeList(myDoc,"/abc:report/abc:link")
will result in a transformer exception telling me that
the namespace abc
needs to be assiciated somewhere.
Where can I do that? Inside the XPath expression? I
read the spec; it look
to me as if XPointer has a syntax for that while XPath
hasn't. But I could
not
find any method to call in order to do this either.
google says:
selectNodeList
public static NodeList selectNodeList(
Node contextNode, java.lang.String str,
Node namespaceNode) throws
TransformerException
Use an XPath string to select a nodelist. XPath
namespace prefixes are resolved from the namespaceNode.
Parameters:
contextNode - The node to start searching from.str - A
valid XPath string.namespaceNode - The node from which
prefixes in the XPath will be resolved to
namespaces.Returns:
A NodeIterator, should never be null.Throws:
TransformerException -
