Hi all, I am using xpath to set camel header values. Given a document that looks something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <book xmlns="http://mydomain.com";> <chapter>some text</chapter> </book> I can do something like this fine: .setHeader(MY_HEADER_NAME). .xpath("/nsprefix:book/nsprefix:chapter/text()",String.class, new Namespaces("nsprefix","http://mydomain.com";)) But this pollutes my xpath expression with all the prefixes. What I want to be able to do is something like this: .setHeader(MY_HEADER_NAME).xpath("book/chapter/text()",String.class, new Namespaces("","http://mydomain.com";)) But this doesn't work. I would have hoped that specifying an empty string for the prefix as I did above would inform camel that elements without a prefix have an implied namespace of "http://mydomain.com",but this doesn't work. Is there a way in camel to specify the implied namespace for elements that don't have a prefix in my xpath? If not, is there any technical reason this couldn't be implemented?
