RE: XmlCursor.toChild() Ignore Namespace?

Paul,

 

It looks that you have 3 options:

1)       somehow get the new namespace uri and pass it as parameter - this would be the preferred way because namespaces do usually change for a reason usually to indicate that they are not backwards compatible

2)       or use the XmlCursors methods toFirstChild() toNextSibling() and test the names yourself

3)       or use XmlObject.selectPath("./TrackAndTrace") which is simple enough to use the internal XMLBeans XPath implementation.

Subject: XmlCursor.toChild() Ignore Namespace?

 

Hi,

How can I navigate to a document location using XMLCursor.toChild() without supplying a namespace?

 

My current call looks like:

 

XmlCursor documentCursor = myXmlObject.newCursor();

documentCursor.toChild("http://types.mycompany.com/ServiceMetaTypes/1/1", "TrackAndTrace");

 

This works fine and the TrackAndTrace element is found as it should be. 

I'd like to insulate the logic from changes to the namespace, e.g. the version being incremented to http://types.mycompany.com/ServiceMetaTypes/1/2, by ignoring the namespace but following never finds anything.

 

XmlCursor documentCursor = myXmlObject.newCursor();

documentCursor.toChild("TrackAndTrace");

 

I need to use the XMLCursor as opposed to using a query as I don't have a query engine available in this particular system. 

 

Any help appreciated.
