Your second XPath expression is incorrect:
       XPath legpath = XPath.newInstance("//legId");

An XPath expression starting with "//" is evaluated from the document root. 
What you what is an expression which is relative to the current node.
Try with ".//legId" (the dot in first position makes it relative).
