当 xml 具有命名空间前缀时，为什么只有某些 XPath 表达式才能找到节点 [英] Why do only certain XPath expressions find nodes when xml has a namespace prefix

问题描述

在下面的示例代码中，当源 xml 具有命名空间前缀时，任何形式为//elementName"的 XPath 将返回 null(请参阅底部的代码).

In the example code below any XPath that are in the form '//elementName' return null when the source xml has a namespace prefix (see testWithNS() in the code at the bottom).

当源 xml 没有命名空间前缀时，所有列出的 XPath 表达式都返回一个节点(请参阅 testNoNS()).

When the source xml does not have a namespace prefix all the listed XPath expressions return a node (see testNoNS()).

我知道我可以通过设置 NamespaceContext(如在 testWithNSContext() 中)、将 xml 解析为命名空间感知文档并在 XPath 中使用命名空间前缀来解决这个问题.但是我不想这样做，因为我的实际代码需要处理带有和不带有名称空间前缀的 xml.

I know I could solve this by setting up a NamespaceContext (as in testWithNSContext()), parsing the xml as a namespace aware document, and using namespace prefixes in the XPaths. However I don't want to do this as my actual code needs to process xml both with and without namespace prefixes.

我的问题是为什么它只是:

My question is why is it only:

• //测试
• //child1
• //grandchild1
• //child2

返回空值，而 testWithNS() 中的所有其他示例都返回节点?

that return null, yet all other examples in testWithNS() return the node?

输出

testNoNS()
test = found
/test = found
//test = found
//test/* = found
//test/child1 = found
//test/child1/grandchild1 = found
//test/child2 = found
//child1 = found
//grandchild1 = found
//child1/grandchild1 = found
//child2 = found

testWithNS()
test = found
/test = found
//test = *** NOT FOUND ***
//test/* = found
//test/child1 = found
//test/child1/grandchild1 = found
//test/child2 = found
//child1 = *** NOT FOUND ***
//grandchild1 = *** NOT FOUND ***
//child1/grandchild1 = found
//child2 = *** NOT FOUND ***

testWithNSContext()
ns1:test = found
/ns1:test = found
//ns1:test = found
//ns1:test/* = found
//ns1:test/ns1:child1 = found
//ns1:test/ns1:child1/ns1:grandchild1 = found
//ns1:test/ns1:child2 = found
//ns1:child1 = found
//ns1:grandchild1 = found
//ns1:child1/ns1:grandchild1 = found
//ns1:child2 = found

在撒克逊测试后更新

我现在已经使用 Saxon 测试了相同的代码，将 XPahtFactory 行更改为此

Update following Saxon test

I have now tested the same code using Saxon changing the XPahtFactory line to this

final XPathFactory xpathFactory = new net.sf.saxon.xpath.XPathFactoryImpl();

在 testWithNS() 中使用 Saxon 的所有行都会返回 *** NOT FOUND *** 而不仅仅是像 '//elementName 这样的行>' 与默认的 Xalan 实现一样.

Using Saxon all lines in testWithNS() return *** NOT FOUND *** rather than just the ones like '//elementName' as with the default Xalan implementation.

鉴于我使用非命名空间感知文档生成器工厂来解析 xml，为什么这些 xpath 都不起作用，而只有一些与 Xalan 一起使用?

Given that I'm using a non namespace aware document builder factory to parse the xml, why do none of these xpaths work, and only some with Xalan?

推荐答案

如果想忽略命名空间，可以使用 local-name XPath 函数:

If you want to ignore namespaces, you can use the local-name XPath function:

//*[local-name()='grandchild1']
