                                    ExpandedName nameTestExpandedName)

  • ExpandedName.getNamespaceURI() returns non-null and ExpandedName.getLocalPart() is a name.
  • This method will not be called if the XPath nameTest includes a wild-card character (*).

    Parameters:
    node - the ELEMENT or ROOT to search
    nameTestExpandedName - the expanded name of the element to find.
    Returns:
    the child element or null if not found.
