[jdom-interest] Namespace problem

[Frank Cohen]

I'm having a problem using the Element.getChild() method when the 
element uses a namespace with no prefix. The getChild() method seems to 
always return a null value. The XML document is a response to a SOAP 
request. I'm using Jython (the Java implementation of Python):

builder = SAXBuilder()
doc = builder.build( StringReader( response.toString() ) )

envelopeElement = doc.getRootElement()

soap_ns = Namespace.getNamespace
("soap", "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/")

bodyElement = envelopeElement.getChild("Body", soap_ns)

so_ns = Namespace.getNamespace( "", "http://www.serviceobjects.com")

at this point in the script I try to get the child using:

atmrespElement = bodyElement.getChild( "GetATMLocationsResponse", 
so_ns )

this returns null.

I try another technique by using getChildre():

print "Body Children"
bc = bodyElement.getChildren()
for i in bc:
    print i, i.getNamespace()

and this works. The i.getNamespace() returns:

[Element: <GetATMLocationsResponse [Namespace: 
http://www.serviceobjects.com/]/>] [Namespace: prefix "" is mapped to 
URI "http://www.serviceobjects.com/"]

Below is the XML document.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
