ignore

I need to process an XML DOM, preferably with JDOM, where I can do XPath search on nodes. I know the node names or paths, but I want to ignore namespaces completely because sometimes the document comes with namespaces, sometimes without, and I can't rely on specific values. Is that possible? How?
