Looking at that message, I suspect you've misdiagnosed the problem 
and the request. Prasad A. Chodavarapu's question is how one maps a 
prefix to a URI for use in an XPath expressions *outside of an XML 
document"; in this case, in Java source code. JDOM only deals with 
what's in the XML document itself. No change is necessary.

If for some reason JXPath can't use prefixes in Java code that are 
not also used in the document, then that would be a design flaw in 
JXPath. Again JDOM has nothing to do with this.
