Proble with XPath query

[abenstex]

Hi everyone,

i have an xml file that looks like this:

<myns:importDescription xmlns:myns='[URL unfurl="true"]http://xml.netbeans.org/examples/targetNS'[/URL]
                        xmlns:xsi='[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'[/URL]
                        xsi:schemaLocation='[URL unfurl="true"]http://xml.netbeans.org/examples/targetNS[/URL] file:/D:/Programmierung/Projekte/JaGeneJDev/JaGene/resources/accessImport.xsd'>
    <myns:mapping accessTableName="someTableName">
        <myns:postgreTable>anthropometrie</myns:postgreTable>
        <myns:csvSeparationChar>;</myns:csvSeparationChar>
        <myns:overwrite>true</myns:overwrite>
    </myns:mapping>
</myns:importDescription>

What i want to do now is to get the values for the postgreTable, overwrite, ... elements depending on the value of the accessTableName attribute. So my query looks like this:

myns:importDescription/myns:mapping[attribute::accessTableName='someTableName']/myns:csvSeparationChar

where someTableName is the name of the accessTableName attribute. Unfortunately it does not work, because it doesn't retrieve anything.

Thanks

On the face of it, it should work under proper conditions. Have you declared the namespace with prefix myns in your xsl? If yes, what is the context where the xpath appears?
