I think this is a defect. I get a RunTime exception when I try to run it.

For now try changing the order of the namespace declarations in the Row XPath (make 'namespace a' come first.) I was able to get results then.

I have submitted this as a defect.

I'm running into a similar issue with a data source needing 3 namespace declarations. Seems the whichever one comes first is the only one that gets parsed. Since my column Xpaths usually reference multiple namespaces this is kind of a deal breaker for me.

Any known workarounds? Is there a way to do a global project wide declaration maybe?

What about an initial datasource that strips the namespaces from the response, then use that as the source for the "real" datasource?

Strike that, I don't think it would work...

Put the namespace in front of the Column xpath:[tt:13c75d4o]declare namespace a='http://Company-Name.com/2009/12'; a:CustomerId[/tt:13c75d4o]
