Title: RE: [xml-dev] XML Schema Validation Problem
Hi Jeni,
Thank you very much, That is now working fine. I had the XPath property set but didn't know about the namespaces property.
Best regards
Jason

You don't show the code that you're using, but my guess would be that
when you use selectSingleNode(), you're not including a namespace
prefix on the element name. Try using the following code:
// Use XPath rather than XSL Patterns to select your nodes
yourDOM.setProperty("SelectionLanguage", "XPath");
// Declare the namespace you want to use with a prefix
yourDOM.setProperty("SelectionNamespaces", "xmlns:xyz='xyz'");
// Use the prefix when you refer to the element you want to select
node = yourDOM.selectSingleNode("/xyz:Environment");
When you use XPath, if you specify an element name without a prefix as
in "/Environment" then you will only select elements with that local
name in *no namespace*. If you want to select elements that are in a
namespace (as your <Environment> element is) then you need to declare
that namespace with a prefix and use that prefix to refer to the
element.
Cheers,
Jeni
