java xpath 默认命名空间,Java XPath：具有默认命名空间xmlns的查询

I want to do an XPath query on this file (excerpt shown):

This is a snippet of the code I'm using:

DocumentBuilderFactory domFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();

DocumentBuilder builder = domFactory.newDocumentBuilder();

Document document = builder.parse(new File(testFile));

XPathFactory factory = XPathFactory.newInstance();

XPath xpath = factory.newXPath();

xpath.setNamespaceContext( new NamespaceContext() {

public String getNamespaceURI(String prefix) {

...

String result = xpath.evaluate(xpathQueryString, document);

System.out.println(result);

The problem I'm facing is that when the default namespace is referenced in an XPath query, the getNamespaceURI method is not called to resolve it.

This query for example doesn't extract anything:

//xmlns:ModelClass.Parent/xmlns:Core.Reference[@type=\"Model\"]/@package

Now I've tried "tricking" the parser by replacing xmlns with a fake prefix d and then writing the getNamespaceURI method accordingly (so to return http://xml.sap.com/2002/10/metamodel/webdynpro when d is encountered). In this case, the getNamespaceURI is called but the result of the XPath expression evaluation is always an empty string.

If I strip out namespaces from the file and from the XPath query expression, I can get the string I wanted (com.test.mypackage).

Is there a way to make things work properly with the default namespace?

In your Namespace context, bind a prefix of your choice (e.g. df) to the namespace URI in the document

xpath.setNamespaceContext( new NamespaceContext() {

public String getNamespaceURI(String prefix) {

switch (prefix) {

case "df": return "http://xml.sap.com/2002/10/metamodel/webdynpro";

...

}

});

and then use that prefix in your path expressions to qualify element names e.g. /df:ModelClass/df:ModelClass.Parent/df:Core.Reference[@type = 'Model']/@package.
