I have a problem when I want to select an item with xpath from an xml-file when there are different schemas for one namespace.Given is this valid xml-file:\[code\]<getDataAction xmlns="http://example.org/ns1"> <getData xmlns:f4k1="http://example.org/ns2" xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <f4k1
lace xmlns:f5k1="http://example.org/ns3"> <f4k1:city i:type="f5k1:Country" xmlns:f5k1="http://example.org/ns4"> <f5k1:notice>Notice</f5k1:notice> </f4k1:city> <f4k1:testvillage i:nil="true"> <f4k1:data xmlns:f5k1="http://example.org/ns5"> <f5k1:address xmlns:d7k1="http://example.org/ns6"> <f5k1:important>no</f5k1:important> </f5k1:address> </f4k1:data> </f4k1:testvillage> </f4k1lace> </getData></getDataAction>\[/code\]I want to select\[code\]<f5k1:notice>Notice</f5k1:notice>\[/code\]So I use this \[code\]xpath-query //f5k1:notice\[/code\], but it does not work. If I would change the ns5 namespace (line 8) to ns4 (as in line 4) it will work.Can you tell me why this does work and what I have to do to get it working without changing the XML?
