You need to set up namespaces on your XPath object. Use XPath.setNamespaceContext() to do this. Alternatively you could just use local names in your XPath expression, e.g. //*[local-name()='alarm-response-list']/*[local-name()='alarm-responses']/*[local-name()='alarm'] but the namespace option is better.

A whole lot of information about using namespaces with XPath expressions is already in another answer here.
