Hi<BR>
<BR>
I am having some problem using JDOM XPath class with Namespaces. The following JUnit test case code fails due to the value returned by 'selectSingleNode()' is always null:<BR>
<BR>
<TT> public static final String XML_DOI_BATCH_A_XMLNS_VAL = "<A HREF="http://www.crossref.org/schema/2.0.5">http://www.crossref.org/schema/2.0.5</A>";<BR>
public static final String XML_DOI_BATCH_A_XMLNS_XSI = "xsi";<BR>
public static final String XML_DOI_BATCH_A_XMLNS_XSI_VAL = "<A HREF="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance</A>";<BR>
<BR>
private void assertJournalTitle(String xmlDoc) throws Exception {<BR>
StringReader inReader = new StringReader(xmlDoc);<BR>
SAXBuilder saxBuilder = new SAXBuilder(false);<BR>
Document doc = saxBuilder.build(inReader);<BR>
<BR>
assertNotNull(doc);<BR>
<BR>
XPath journalTitleXPath = XPath.newInstance("/doi_batch/body/journal/journal_metadata/full_title");<BR>
<BR>
journalTitleXPath.addNamespace(Namespace.getNamespace(JournalConstants.XML_DOI_BATCH_A_XMLNS_VAL));<BR>
journalTitleXPath.addNamespace(Namespace.getNamespace(<BR>
JournalConstants.XML_DOI_BATCH_A_XMLNS_XSI,<BR>
JournalConstants.XML_DOI_BATCH_A_XMLNS_XSI_VAL));<BR>
<BR>
Element fullTitle = (Element) journalTitleXPath.selectSingleNode(doc);<BR>
<BR>
// the line below fails the assertion, i.e. fullTitle is null value<BR>
assertNotNull(fullTitle);<BR>
assertEquals(expectedJournalTitle, fullTitle.getText());<BR>
}<BR>
</TT><BR>
<BR>
This is the XML I am trying to test (please note that this may fail if you turn ON the validation):<BR>

I am using JDOM 1.0-b9.<BR>
<BR>
Could someone please help me figure out why the node in question is never selected?<BR>
<BR>
Best regards,<BR>
