<TITLE>Searching a XML document using XPath</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I need to be able to search a JDom document for elements with specific names, attributes, etc. My problem is that the elements and attributes may or may not belong to a namespace, and I want to be able to find e.g. all elements with a given name regardless of namespaces. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Is this at all possible using XPath?</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I've tried to use the Werken & Sons implementation. And I have testet the XPath expressions using the XPath tester from FiveSight Technologies, Inc. But both require that the elements either have no namespace or that the namespace is given as part of the XPath.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Thanks,</FONT>
