In XPath 1.0, if you want to select an element that's in a namespace, you
need to bind a prefix to that namespace and use a prefixed QName in the path
expression. The fact that the namespace is the default namespace in the
source document makes no difference.

Subject:  How to select nodes with explicitly set
default namespace - DOM4J

Hi,

I am having a problem selecting nodes that are part of a
default namespace.
The xml format cannot be modified as it is part of an NHS UK standard.

For Example:  xmlns=="urn:hl7-org:v3"  is the default
namespace, though a
call to selectSingleNode from the root element will not
return anything for
me. See code below...

/* Code */
InputStream is =
CabCfg.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("testdoc.xml");  //
testdoc.xml is doc above
Document doc = new SAXReader().read(is);
Element el = doc.getRootElement();
el.add(new Namespace("", "urn:hl7-org:v3"));
Element interIdEl = (Element)(el.selectSingleNode("//interactionId"));
==============================================================

interIdEl returns null.


Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
