SOAP request fails about ono

I have the same problem and have to go down the elements until I get to the element I want:

ONOXMLElement *dataElement = [[[[[[[[[document.rootElement.children firstObject] children] firstObject] children] firstObject] children] firstObject] children] firstObject];

Here are some details about the problem:

"The ‘gotcha’ moment with our response message is that the namespace “xmlns=http://ws.cdyne.com/WeatherWS/” does not have a prefix for the declaration. By not defining a prefix, it is defaulting to the default namespace or null namespace and we cannot use XPath expressions to reference the null namespace."

Hi @mattt,

What is the status of this issue? It seems like I'm experiencing it too.

Apologies for not responding sooner, everyone. I'm not very familiar with SOAP, but I'd like to make any necessary fixes for this in code and/or documentation. I'll add the example you provided, @tosbaha, as a failing test case in a branch and work to figure out a solution.

In the meantime, have you tried calling the definePrefix:forDefaultNamespace as a workaround?

Sorry but this issue was so old. I don't work on this anymore. I think I made it work by stripping the name spaces. Since I don't have the old code anymore, I can't comment whether your workaround works or not. Cheers.

I've tested this by calling definePrefix:forDefaultNamespace, however, XPath queries still returns nil
