The same as setValue, except it creates intermediate elements of the path by invoking an AbstractFactory, which should first be installed on the context by calling "setFactory".

Will throw an exception if one of the following conditions occurs:

prefix - The namespace prefix to look up

Returns:

namespace URI or null if the prefix is undefined.

setNamespaceContextPointer

public void setNamespaceContextPointer(Pointer pointer)

getNamespaceContextPointer

public Pointer getNamespaceContextPointer()

Description copied from class: JXPathContext

Returns the namespace context pointer set with setNamespaceContextPointer() or, if none has been specified, the context pointer otherwise.

allocateConditionally

public static java.lang.Object allocateConditionally(java.lang.String className,
