public String translateNamespacePrefixToUri(String prefix)

Implements org.jaxen.NamespaceContext.translateNamespacePrefixToUri.

Doc from org.jaxen.NamespaceContext.translateNamespacePrefixToUri.

Translate the provided namespace prefix into the matching bound namespace URI.

In XPath, there is no such thing as a 'default namespace'. The empty prefix always resolves to the empty namespace URI. This method should return null for the empty prefix. Similarly, the prefix "xml" always resolves to the URI "http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace".

Parameters
prefix:String

the namespace prefix to resolve

Returns:String

the namespace URI bound to the prefix; or null if there is no such namespace
