getting root attributes when root element is prefixed with namespace

[Mihai Matei <mi...@yahoo.com>]

Hi,
 
I have this xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?>
<sptm:Template
    xmlns:sptm="http://www.test.com/schemas/uc/1.00/sptm"
    commandType="shell"
     filename="myfile.xml"
     id="1"
</sptm:Template>

and I'm trying to retreive the root attribute names/values, filename="myfile.xml" for example.

The following code works if the root element tag is not prefixed with a namespace:

DOMElement* root = pDoc->getDocumentElement();
const XMLCh* attrValue = root->getAttributes()->getNamedItem(X("filename"))->getNodeValue();

what do I need to change for it to work with the namespace? 

I tried getNamedItemNS(), didn't work (I guess it would work if the attribute was prefixed).
Then I tried setting root to:
root = dynamic_cast(pDoc->getElementsByTagNameNS(X("http://www.test.com/schemas/uc/1.00/sptm"), X("Template"))->item(0));
This didn't work also.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

I don't see why this shouldn't work for the XML instance above. Have you
tried to use this code as is? BTW, the second line can be rewritten as:

const XMLCh* attrValue = root->getAttribute(X("filename"));
