The reading I've done tells me that with XML1.1 there is no way to use default namespaces in XPath searches. Ok, so now I'd like to know the work-around. One thing I found in another post was this: ------------------------------------------------------- What I can do, is register some dummy namespace: eg: xmlNodePtr current_node=(get this node some magic way); xmlNsPtr nsdefptr = current_node->nsDef; if(nsdefptr != NULL) { if(nsdefptr->prefix == NULL) { xmlXPathRegisterNs(xpath_context, (const xmlChar *)"dummy", nsdefptr->href); } } but in this case I have to prefix all my XPath query element id's (which are meant to be in the default namespace) with dummy: (eg <foo/> needs XPath: /dummy:foo) ------------------------------------------------------------ taken from: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/xml/2003-April/msg00143.html If I understand the above code correctly, it is assigning a prefix to the default namespace, then using that prefix in XPath searches. Is that correct? I AM PERFECTLY HAPPY resolving my problem this way (if it will work). But I want to find out if this can be done through the libxml++ wrapper - and if this over-all approach is Kosher. -Brent |
