tFileInputXML_1 Invalid XPath expression Unexpected '.'

I've tried the example on this post: https://community.talend.com/t5/Installing-and-Upgrading/Use-tFileInputXML-for-reading-process-lt-jo... on version 2.21/Java but i get this error:
Exception in component tFileInputXML_1
org.dom4j.InvalidXPathException: Invalid XPath expression: ns:. Unexpected '.'

Whats the way to get the value from this tag? <street district="Manhattan">Madison avenue</street> (eg. The xpath to get Madison avenue)
See the screenshot for more information.

Thats strange. I tried it both at home and at work. I'll try it with the 2.3.0 version but i doubt if thats it. It should work with older versions also. Could it be the Java version?
I'm running:
java version "1.6.0_03"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_03-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.6.0_03-b05, mixed mode)
