XML parsing using SAX by xpath

Question

i am trying to do XML parsing using SAX by using xpath. but when i try for getting data for multiple nodeset it do not give that.

  import java.io.File;
  import java.io.FileInputStream;
  import java.io.IOException;

  import javax.xml.xpath.XPath;
  import javax.xml.xpath.XPathConstants;
  import javax.xml.xpath.XPathExpression;
  import javax.xml.xpath.XPathExpressionException;
  import javax.xml.xpath.XPathFactory;

  import org.apache.xpath.NodeSet;
  import org.w3c.dom.NodeList;
  import org.xml.sax.InputSource;


  public class XPathEvaluator{


   public void evaluateDocument(File xmlDocument){

    try{
 XPathFactory factory=XPathFactory.newInstance();
 XPath xPath=factory.newXPath();
 InputSource inputSource=new InputSource(new FileInputStream(xmlDocument));
 XPathExpression         

  xPathExpression=xPath.compile("/catalog/journal/article[@date='January-2004']/title");
String title=xPathExpression.evaluate(inputSource);
System.out.println("Title: "+ title);

 inputSource=new InputSource(new FileInputStream(xmlDocument));
String publisher=xPath.evaluate("/catalog/journal/@publisher", inputSource);
System.out.println("Publisher:"+ publisher);    

String expression="/catalog/journal[@title='Java Technology']/article";
NodeSet nodes = (NodeSet) xPath.evaluate(expression, inputSource,XPathConstants.NODESET);    
NodeList nodeList=(NodeList)nodes;   
System.out.println("node List"+nodeList);
  }
  catch(IOException  e){}
 catch(XPathExpressionException e){}

 }


 public static void main(String[] argv){


 XPathEvaluator evaluator=new XPathEvaluator();

 File xmlDocument=new File("e://catalog-modified.xml");
 evaluator.evaluateDocument(xmlDocument);

 }

  }

my catalog-modified.xml is as follows

       <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <catalog xmlns:journal="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-Instance">

if i try to call this do not show any nodeset for this .

The journal element is in a namespace. You can't ignore the namespace. Please read about XPath and namespaces - there are thousands of posts on the subject in this forum.
