Issue with XPath and Namespace Prefix in Talend tXMLMap Component

[portix]

Hi everyone,

I'm working with an XML file in Talend that has the following header:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?>
<BackOffice xmlns="exampleNamespace" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="exampleNamespace example.xsd">

When processing this XML using a tXmlMap component, I get the following error:
org.dom4j.XPathException: Exception occurred evaluating XPath: @xsi:schemaLocation. Exception: XPath expression uses unbound namespace prefix xsi

Could someone guide me on how to correctly bind the namespace prefix or handle this issue in Talend?

Hello,

With a tXmlMap I have the same error as you but with a tExtractXMLFileds , I managed to recover the value as below.

Best Regards,
