QName Constructor (String, XdmNode)

Construct a QName from a lexical QName, supplying an element node whose in-scope namespaces are to be used to resolve any prefix contained in the QName.

Parameters

lexicalQName

The lexical QName, in the form

prefix:local

or simply local.

element

The element node whose in-scope namespaces are to be used to resolve the prefix part of the lexical QName.

Remarks

This constructor checks that the components of the QName are lexically valid.

If the lexical QName has no prefix, the name is considered to be in the default namespace, as defined by xmlns="...".

If the prefix of the lexical QName is not in scope, returns null.
