Ignore namespace to create nodelist in Java

I'm parsing a XML string to generate nodes. Sometimes the tag comes with a namespace & sometimes without namespace. How can I ignore this and

I tried in the following way, but it didnt work.

//NodeList idDetails =  doc.getDocumentElement().getElementsByTagNameNS("*", "details");

NodeList idDetails = doc.getElementsByTagName("ns2:details");

Any ideas on how to do it?

First one shall work.

NodeList nodes = doc.getDocumentElement().getElementsByTagNameNS("*", str);

But you have to also call DocumentBuilderFactory.setNamespaceAware(true) for this to work, otherwise namespaces will not be detected.
