Description

When using the ...

public static Node selectSingleNode(Node contextNode,
java.lang.String str,
Node namespaceNode)
or

public static Node selectSingleNode(Node contextNode,
java.lang.String str)

methods of XPathAPI or CachedXPathAPI on a Document object that contains
multiple namespaces ... the method returns null every time!
For instance, take the following markup ...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<parent parentId="123">
<parms targetNamespace="http://foo.com/" xmlns="http://foo.com/">
<foo><name>foo</name></foo>
</parms>
</parent>

The following XPathAPI query returns null!

Document doc = DocumentBuilder.parse("pathtofoo.xml");
Element elParent = doc.getDocumentElement();
Element elName = XPathAPI.selectSingeNode(elParent, "parent/foo/name");

i've also tried ...

Element elName = XPathAPI.selectSingeNode(elParent, "parent/foo/name",
elParent);

still returns null! Any clues?
