A friend of mine told me that he couldn't find a Java
DOM API that supported XPath which could successfully
return 

a.) All the C elements from the http://blah namespace 

b.) All the C elements in documents that have a
namespace name. 

from the XML document below. 

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
 <A xmlns:glop="http://blah">
  <C xmlns="http://blah">abc</C>
  <glop:C>xyz</glop:C>
  <glop:C xmlns:glop="http://example.com">123</C>
  <C>456</C> 
  <B>
  </B>
 </A>

I doubt that this is the case but couldn't contradict
his claims after doing a few cursory searches on
Google. 

Can anyone confirm or deny this and provide sample
code if it is the latter? 

Thanks. 

PS: I think his only caveat is that it uses Java 1.3
not Java 1.4.
