My question never originally got answered, so I'll ask it again:

> <definitions xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/"
> xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" name="IZPOP3service"
> targetNamespace="http://www.zanetti-dev.com/"
> xmlns:tns="http://www.zanetti-dev.com/"
> xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/"
> xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"
> xmlns:mime="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/mime/"
> xmlns:ns1="http://www.zanetti-dev.com/XMLSchema"
> xmlns:ns2="http://www.borland.com/namespaces/Types">

See <http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath#node-tests>

  "--except that the default namespace declared with xmlns is not used--"

Thus

  //x:definitions/x:service/x:port[@name='IZPOP3service']/*/@location

with ns-prefix x bound to URL http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/ will work.

Great.  How do I do this programmatically in Java?
