SAX + namespace

[cyril vidal]

Dear all,
I use xerces and API Sax to parse an XML document.
That's what this doc looks like:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="survey.xsl" type="text/xsl"?>
<surveys xmlns="http://www.nicholaschase.com/surveys/"
xmlns:revised="http://www.nicholaschase.com/surveys/revised/">
<response username="bob">
   <question subject="appearance">A</question>
   <question subject="communication">B</question>
   <question subject="ship">A</question>
   <question subject="inside">D</question>
   <question subject="implant">B</question>
   <revised:question subject="appearance">D</revised:question>
   <revised:question subject="communication">A</revised:question>
   <revised:question subject="ship">A</revised:question>
   <revised:question subject="inside">D</revised:question>
   <revised:question subject="implant">A</revised:question>
</response>
...
</surveys>
  

Now, I just want to the elements in defaut namespace http://www.nicholaschase.com/surveys/ to flagged in output.
So, the startElement() method may be this one:

 
public void startElement(
                String namespaceURI, 
                String localName, 
                String qName, 
                Attributes atts) 
                   throws SAXException {
if (namespaceURI   == "http://www.nicholaschase.com/surveys/") { 
  
   System.out.println("OK");
}

I thought there would be merely "OK" as output for elements surveys, reponse, question since all these elements belong to the default namespace http://www.nicholaschase.com/surveys/.
Unfortunately, that's not the case and I get anything as output. I've checked that namespace are enabled by default in xerces.
I'm missing something here but don't know exactly what.
I would be very grateful for any assistance,
Regards,
Cyril.

Try again with

if (namespaceURI[B].equals([/B]"http://www.nicholaschase.com/surveys/"[B])[/B]) {

Hi Lasse,
I've tried with equals too... No more success...
Can anyone provide a code snippet where namespaceURI is successfull used?
I don't understand what's wrong in my code
Cyril.

Hmmm, it looks odd...
I've added the two lines:

xmlReader.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces",true);
xmlReader.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/namespace-prefixes",false);
  

in my code, which are supposed to be the default configuration, and all is working now...
I'm perplex...
