Nifi XML Namespace

I have an XML document with namespace, how do I parse it with Xpath or Xquery

Hans,

There is an email thread that talks about how to (currently) get EvaluateXPath to work with namespaces. The email talks about default namespaces but it works for explicit namespaces too. If multiple namespaces have the same "local name", that can cause problems however.

There is a Jira case to add support for namespaces in XPath/XQuery processors: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-1023

Here is my sample, if I remove the xmlns parts Xpath works just fine.

<measCollecFile xmlns="http://latest/nmc-omc/cmNrm.doc#measCollec" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://latest/nmc-omc/cmNrm.doc#measCollec schema\pmResultSchedule.xsd">
