Unable to Count Nodes using ora:countNodes , the count is always 0

Question

B2B is connected to BPEL , the xsd used for the given xml is :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252" ?>
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns="http://www.example.org"
targetNamespace="http://www.example.org"
elementFormDefault="qualified">
<xsd:element name="Root">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="Batch">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="Warehouse" type="xsd:string"/>
<xsd:element name="BatchDate" type="xsd:integer"/>
<xsd:element name="Revision" type="xsd:string"/>
<xsd:element name="OnHand" maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="ItemCode" type="xsd:string"/>
<xsd:element name="SOH" type="xsd:integer"/>
<xsd:element name="Quarantine" type="xsd:integer"/>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>

</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:schema>
Count nodes function used by me is :
ora:countNodes('receive_InventoryReconcilliation_receive_InputVariable','body','/ns2:Root/ns2:Batch/ns2:OnHand/ns2:ItemCode')
or
ora:countNodes('receive_InventoryReconcilliation_receive_InputVariable','body','/ns2:Root/ns2:Batch/ns2:OnHand/ns2:ItemCode')
I have tried using countNodes in above two ways.
Inspite of that i always get count of nodes as 0.
How should i resolve this issue ?
Thanks in advance,
Sasmit

Hi Sasmit...
i was facing a same problem recently...i can see the B2B adaptor giving the file as input to my BPEL process but the count is coming as zero...then what i did was..i tried copying the value of an element in the input variable...i cannot copy the value too...So, then i figured out that when i defined the document definition in B2B console, we will be giving the XSD file right...that schema file is not in sink with the file being picked up...may be i might have done amistake while generating the XSD file for a particular document in B2B Editor...then later i created the document definition i mean the xsd file in B2B Editor and used that new XSD file in my document definition...then i could access all the data in my BPEL process...
Just try this..,may be it helps.
Thanks,
