Am trying to get values from an XML using XPATH. I got the following exception.\[code\] [Fatal Error] books.xml:4:16: The prefix "abc" for element "abc
riority" is not bound.Exception in thread "main" org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; systemId: file:///D:/XSL%20TEST%20APP%20BACK%20UP/XMLTestApp/books.xml; lineNumber: 4; columnNumber: 16; The prefix "abc" for element "abcriority" is not bound. at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.parsers.DOMParser.parse(Unknown Source) at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.DocumentBuilderImpl.parse(Unknown Source) at javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder.parse(Unknown Source) at xpath.XPathExample.main(XPathExample.java:18)\[/code\]Am getting this error because my XML is a little bit of different from normal one.My XML file is follows.\[code\]<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><inventory> <Sample> <abcriority>1</abcriority> <abc:value>2</abc:value> </Sample></inventory>\[/code\]Am using the following java code to get values from the above XML.\[code\]import java.io.IOException; import org.w3c.dom.*; import org.xml.sax.SAXException; import javax.xml.parsers.*; import javax.xml.xpath.*; public class XPathExample { public static void main(String[] args) throws ParserConfigurationException, SAXException, IOException, XPathExpressionException { DocumentBuilderFactory domFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance(); domFactory.setNamespaceAware(true); // never forget this! DocumentBuilder builder = domFactory.newDocumentBuilder(); Document doc = builder.parse("books.xml"); XPathFactory factory = XPathFactory.newInstance(); XPath xpath = factory.newXPath(); XPathExpression expr = xpath.compile("//Sample/*/text()");////book/Sample[author='Neal Stephenson']/title/text() Object result = expr.evaluate(doc, XPathConstants.NODESET); NodeList nodes = (NodeList) result; for (int i = 0; i < nodes.getLength(); i++) { System.out.println(nodes.item(i).getNodeValue()); } } }\[/code\]If i remove the semicolon i never get this error.Is it possible to get content from an XML like mentioned above using Xpath ?If so guide me to find out the solution.Any help is appreciableThanks.
