JXTemplate, Xpath and Namespace

["Messing, Elad" <el...@eml-d.villa-bosch.de>]

Hello all
	I have a newbie question related to Xpath expression and
Namspaces.
	Here goes :
	I have an XHTML page. It looks like this :


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-7"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns:bla="http://bla"
xmlns:jx="http://apache.org/cocoon/templates/jx/1.0">
	<head>
		<title>title</title>
		<meta http-equiv="Content-Style-Type" content="text/css"
/>
.
.
.


	Then I pass it through the JXTemplate generator, which changes
it to the xml that look like this :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns:bla="http://bla"
xmlns:jx="http://apache.org/cocoon/templates/jx/1.0"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
	<head>
		<title>title</title>
		<meta http-equiv="Content-Style-Type"
content="text/css"/>
.
.
.


	As you see, the default namespace http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml
was added to the html declaration. Now - when I try to match 	a
template in this xml document - I.E. " //head " the Xpath doesn't find
the node - because it is actually connected 	to the default
namespace, and Xpath will not return the <head> element. I think that
for Xpath there is no such 	thing as default namespace.

	I know I can use the Xpath expression with *[1] and etc to reach
the desired node- but this is not very elegant.

	So my question is - What should be done in this case ?
	Should I have the JXTemplate generator to not add the defualt
namespace ? How ?
	Or maybe this is not the right direction ?

	Thanks
