Alek,

Thanks for the quick reply!

I believe that XPP3 is set to be namespace aware, as the factory
method I call to give me an XmlInfosetBuilder object sets this flag
to true for me.

Here is a full Java class that I run. I use the latest XPP3 from the
website link: http://www.extreme.indiana.edu/dist/java-
repository/xpp3/distributions/xpp3-1.1.4c_all.zip

I have extended the XPath functions to include the 'matches' and a
half-implementation of the 'index-of', but I have not touched any of
the underlying "base" code, and I have tested with a non-modified
version to verify.

I still think that I am missing something, probably something
obvious like that setNamespaceAware setter, but I just can't seem to
figure out what.

EG


import java.io.StringReader;
import java.util.ArrayList;

import org.xmlpull.v1.builder.XmlDocument;
import org.xmlpull.v1.builder.XmlInfosetBuilder;
import org.xmlpull.v1.builder.xpath.Xb1XPath;

public class Tester {

/**
* Tester class for quick tests
*
* @param args
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
String xml = "<ns1:A xmlns:ns1=\"http://some.url.org\">" +
"<ns1:B>" +
"<ns1:C xyz=\"test\"/>" +
"</ns1:B>" +
"</ns1:A>";

try {
XmlInfosetBuilder builder = XmlInfosetBuilder.newInstance();

XmlDocument doc = builder.parseReader(new StringReader(xml));

Xb1XPath predicateObj = new Xb1XPath("/ns1:A/ns1:B");

Object retObj = predicateObj.evaluate(doc);

if (retObj != null) {
System.out.println(retObj.getClass().getName());

if (retObj instanceof ArrayList)
System.out.println(((ArrayList) retObj).size());
} else
System.out.println("null");

} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
