ApplyXPath fails if Root Node has default namespace

           Summary: ApplyXPath fails if Root Node has default namespace
           Product: XalanJ2
           Version: CurrentCVS
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Solaris
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: org.apache.xpath
        AssignedTo: xalan-dev@xml.apache.org
        ReportedBy: smisra@etouch.net


When we try to call the sample ApplyXPath with a xml file
that contails namespace attribute e.g. xmlns="http://blah...",
 XPathAPI.selectNodeIterator() call doesn't return any result back
if the XPath expression contains a "NodeName"

The xml we used was
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<AuthLogin xmlns="http://x.y.com">
    <Request>
        <AuthInfo>
            <UserID>xyz</UserID>
            <UserPassword>xyx</UserPassword>
            <Name>16</Name>
        </AuthInfo>
    </Request>
</AuthLogin>

This didn't work with ApplyXPath.

But it does work if there are no namespace or if the namespace is not default 
e.g. xmlns:srimant="http://xyz..."
