Ora:countNodes coding issue

Question

I try to get the node count by the ora:countNodes api, but it's just return 0. The following lines list the detail.
Namespace: xmlns:coaebmebo="http://xmlns.oracle.com/EnterpriseObjects/Core/EBO/ChartOfAccounts/V1"
Variable: curCOA
Type: coaebmebo:GLAccountValidation (the element name in the xsd file is GLAccountValidation)
Target Node: coaebmebo:GLElementValue (the element name in the xsd file is GLElementValue)
Code (both return 0) : ora:countNodes('curC0A','GLAccountValidation', '/coaebmebo:GLElementValue')
ora:countNodes('curC0A','GLAccountValidation', '/coaebmebo:GLAccountValidation/coaebmebo:GLElementValue')
SourceXML:
<curC0A>

<coa:GLElementCode listID="" listAgencyID="" listVersionID="">1104</coa:GLElementCode>
<coa:Value>1728</coa:Value>
</coa:GLElementValue>
<coa:GLElementValue xmlns:coa="http://xmlns.oracle.com/EnterpriseObjects/Core/EBO/ChartOfAccounts/V1">
<coa:SequenceNumber>5</coa:SequenceNumber>
<coa:GLElementCode listID="" listAgencyID="" listVersionID="">1105</coa:GLElementCode>
<coa:Value>000</coa:Value>
</coa:GLElementValue>
</GLAccountValidation>
</curC0A>
And another issue is, do you know that it's a convenient way to validate the code? It's really time costly by deploying the process.
Thanks in Advance
