Wildcard Namespaces in XPath Injection

Hello,
I have been doing XPath injection and it is pretty cool.  Using the
instructions here, I created my own copy of the XPath annotation:

http://camel.apache.org/xpath.html

My question, how can I use wildcard namespaces?  If you do something like
this it fails due to the asterick:

@Path("//*:bar/text()") String bar

However, if you want to get verbose about it, you can get it to work:

@Path("//child::* [local-name(.)='bar']") String bar

Any idea whether the custom XPath injection will support the simpler '*'
syntax?

Cheers,
Yogesh

You can try to use the standard API from JDK for the XPath wildcard
stuff to see if you can get it working.
Camel uses this API under the covers. So Camel depends on what this API can do.
