[jdom-interest] XPATH and namespace

[Phil Weighill-Smith]

I assume you've actually registered the ilog namespace prefix, mapped to the correct URI, with the XPath instance you're using?

	Having trouble getting an XPATH expression with a namespace identifier to retreive the value in the XPATH. Example:
	 
	 
	<ruleDef  xmlns:ilog="http://www.myrules.com">
	   <ilog:conditions conditionId="condID_590" ruleId="rule_590">3</ilog:conditions>
	 </ruleDef>
	
	The XPATH expression "//ruleDef/ilog:conditions[1]/text()" does not return a result. I expect 3 to be the result. 
	 
	 
	 
	Thanks,
