Parsing a XML file using Jdom-Problem.

Question

Hi all,
I am reposting it as I was told to format the code and send it again.
I am trying to parse a xml file using a jdom java code.This code works fine if I remove xmlns attribute in the root element. (I get the expected result) .If the "xmlns" attribute is put in the xml as it should be then the parsing and retrieving returns null. Please tell me how to fix this issue.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Xml
<process name="CreateKBEntryService" targetNamespace="http://serena.com/CreateKBEntryService" suppressJoinFailure="yes" xmlns:tns="http://serena.com/CreateKBEntryService" xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2003/03/business-process/" xmlns:bpelx="http://schemas.oracle.com/bpel/extension" xmlns:ora="http://schemas.oracle.com/xpath/extension" xmlns:nsxml0="http://localhost:8080/axis/services/CreateKBEntryService" xmlns:nsxml1="http://DefaultNamespace" xmlns:bpws="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2003/03/business-process/">
<partnerLinks>
<partnerLink name="client" partnerLinkType="tns:CreateKBEntryService" myRole="CreateKBEntryServiceProvider"/>
<partnerLink name="CreateKBEntryPartnerLink" partnerLinkType="nsxml0:CreateKBEntryLink" partnerRole="CreateKBEntryProvider"/>
</partnerLinks>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
Java:
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import org.jdom.Document;
import org.jdom.Element;
import org.jdom.input.SAXBuilder;
public class sample1 {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
// create a XML parser and read the XML file
SAXBuilder oBuilder = new SAXBuilder();
Document oDoc = oBuilder.build(new File("**xml file location**"));
Element root = oDoc.getRootElement();
System.out.println(root.getName());
String tgtns= root.getAttributeValue("targetNamespace");
System.out.println("tgt ns "+ tgtns);
List list= root.getChildren("partnerLinks");
Iterator it1= list.iterator();
System.out.println("Iterator 1 - "+list.size());
while(it1.hasNext()){
Element partnerlinks = (Element)it1.next();
List list2= partnerlinks.getChildren("partnerLink");
System.out.println("iterator 2 - "+list2.size());
}~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Result:
Without Xmlns in xml file(Expected and correct output)
process
tgt ns http://serena.com/CreateKBEntryService
Iterator 1 - 1//expected and correct result that comes when I remove xmlns attribute from xml
iterator 2 - 2
Result with xmlns:
process
tgt ns http://serena.com/CreateKBEntryService
Iterator 1 - 0 //instead of 0 should return 1

This is what you get for working 12 hours straight....
I changed:
xmlObject["mydoc"]["modelglue"]["event-handlers"]["event-handler"][i].xmlAttrib utes["name"]<br>
to:
#mydoc["modelglue"]["event-handlers"]["event-handler"][i].xmlAttrib utes["name"]#<br>
xmlObject is the name of my xml object in memory, and then you reference from the root of the xml doc down the chain.
Sorry for the inconvenience,
