RE: valid node xmlparser oracle 10g

I was able to get that out also, but I can't get out the single value 'English' from ns5:language

I'm trying variations of this
select
samplexml.xml.extract('n1:submit/requestHeader/ns5:language','xmlns:n1="ca/j oe/test/autotype/submitrequest" requestHeader xmlns = "ca/joe/test/autotype/submitrequest" xmlns:ns5 ="ca/joe/test/autotype/testcommonrequest"').getStringVal() omdata from
(select xmltype('<n1:submit xmlns:n1 ="ca/joe/test/autotype/submitrequest" xmlns:xsi = "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

    <requestHeader xmlns = "ca/joe/test/autotype/submitrequest">

<ns1:customerInteractionType xmlns:ns1 =
"ca/joe/test/autotype/testcommonrequest">ContactCentre</ns1:customerInteract ionType>

<ns2:serviceRequestUserId xmlns:ns2 =
"ca/joe/test/autotype/testcommonrequest">N296922</ns2:serviceRequestUserId>

<ns3:serviceConsumer xmlns:ns3 =
"ca/joe/test/autotype/testcommonrequest">Odorrmax</ns3:serviceConsumer>

<ns4:serviceRequestTimestamp xmlns:ns4
="ca/joe/test/autotype/testcommonrequest">2009-10-29T16:13:26.524-04:00</ns4 :serviceRequestTimestamp>

<ns5:language xmlns:ns5

<ns6:referenceID xmlns:ns6

    </requestHeader>

Hi,

I loaded the xml you sent into a 10g database here and ran;

select
extract(x.xml_data,'/n1:submit','xmlns:n1="ca/joe/test/autotype/submitreques t"
 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance') omdata from test_xml x
