Java XML with namespace issue

I have this code: 

org.w3c.dom.Document doc = docBuilder.parse(representation.getStream());
                Element element = doc.getDocumentElement();
                NodeList nodeList = element.getElementsByTagName("xnat:MRSession.scan.file");
                for (int i = 0; i < nodeList.getLength(); i++) {
                    Node node = nodeList.item(i);
                    if (node.getNodeType() == Node.ELEMENT_NODE) {
                        // do something with the current element

my problem is with getElementsByTagName("xnat:MRSession.scan.file")

my xml looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><xnat:MRSession "REMOVED DATA IGNORE">
<xnat:sharing>
<xnat:share label="23_MR1" project="BOGUS_GSU">
<!--hidden_fields[xnat_experimentData_share_id="1",sharing_share_xnat_experimentDa_id="xnat_E00001"]-->
</xnat:share>
</xnat:sharing>
<xnat:fields>
<xnat:field name="studyComments">
<!--hidden_fields[xnat_experimentData_field_id="1",fields_field_xnat_experimentDat_id="xnat_E00001"]-->S</xnat:field>
</xnat:fields>
<xnat:subject_ID>xnat_S00002</xnat:subject_ID>
<xnat:scanner manufacturer="GE MEDICAL SYSTEMS" model="GENESIS_SIGNA"/>
<xnat:prearchivePath>/home/ryan/xnat_data/prearchive/BOGUS_OUA/20120717_131900137/23_MR1</xnat:prearchivePath>
<xnat:scans>
<xnat:scan ID="1" UID="1.2.840.113654.2.45.2.108830" type="SAG LOCALIZER" xsi:type="xnat:mrScanData">
<!--hidden_fields[xnat_imageScanData_id="1"]-->
<xnat:image_session_ID>xnat_E00001</xnat:image_session_ID>
<xnat:quality>usable</xnat:quality>
<xnat:series_description>SAG LOCALIZER</xnat:series_description>
<xnat:scanner manufacturer="GE MEDICAL SYSTEMS" model="GENESIS_SIGNA"/>
<xnat:frames>29</xnat:frames>
<xnat:file URI="/home/ryan/xnat_data/archive/BOGUS_OUA/arc001/23_MR1/SCANS/1/DICOM/scan_1_catalog.xml" content="RAW" file_count="29" file_size="3968052" format="DICOM" label="DICOM" xsi:type="xnat:resourceCatalog">

So Basically I need to be able to iterate through all the xnat:MRSession/xnat:scan/xnat:file elements and make some changes. Problem is 

getElementsByTagName("xnat:MRSession.scan.file")

Is always null. Please help. Thanks

You could try the following using XPath:

Document document = // the parsed document
XPathFactory xPathFactory = XPathFactory.newInstance();
NodeList allFileNodes = xPathFactory.newXPath().evaluate("\\XNAT_NAMESPACE:file", document.getDocumentElement(), XPathConstants.NODESET);

Instead XNAT_NAMESPACE you would need to specify the exact namespace that is meant with the prefix "xnat" in your example.
