[oXygen-user] Re: complex xpath

[George Cristian Bina]

Hi Sean, David,

We added support for defining in options proxy to namespace mappings 
that will take precedence over the ones defined in the document so 
basically now any namespace can be accessible via a proxy without the 
need to define that proxy in the document.

The current version of oXygen (5.1) detects a default namespace and maps 
that to the first available proxy from {default, default1, etc.} but in 
the case Sean mentioned default:CVSRepository does not work because 
there is another default namespace for an element before the 
CVSRepository element and default is mapped to that.

Best Regards,
George
