JDom and Namespace

Question

Hello again, today I hava a problem using the class XPath of JDom.
I have to do a XPath query on a document that uses namespaces. If i ignore that he uses namespaces, and i try the code:
SAXBuilder builder = new SAXBuilder();
Document doc = builder.build("document..xml");
Element e = doc.getRootElement();
XPath xp = XPath.newInstance("//somenode");
Object object = xp.selectSingleNode(e);
System.out.println(object.toString())
.. I have a nullpointerexception. If i insert the line of code
SAXBuilder builder = new SAXBuilder();
Document doc = builder.build("document..xml");
Element e = doc.getRootElement();
XPath xp = XPath.newInstance("//somenode");
xp.addNamespace(e.getNamespace());
Object object = xp.selectSingleNode(e);
System.out.println(object.toString())
... it's the same thing, it return a nullpointerexception.
I don't know how I can resolve this problem, and I am very sad.
Joe
ps: Maybe can i set my builder properties the namespace non - aware, like in DocumentBuilderFactory?
