tika html body,Apache Tika how to extract html body with out head

I am looking to extract entire body content of html except header and footer, however I am getting exception

org.xml.sax.SAXException: Namespace http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml not declared

Below is my code that i have created as mentioned at

import org.apache.tika.exception.TikaException;

import org.apache.tika.io.TikaInputStream;

import org.apache.tika.parser.AutoDetectParser;

import org.apache.tika.sax.BodyContentHandler;

import org.apache.tika.sax.ToHTMLContentHandler;

import org.apache.tika.sax.ToXMLContentHandler;

import org.apache.tika.sax.XHTMLContentHandler;

import org.apache.tika.sax.xpath.Matcher;

import org.apache.tika.sax.xpath.MatchingContentHandler;

import org.apache.tika.sax.xpath.XPathParser;

import org.xml.sax.ContentHandler;

import org.xml.sax.SAXException;

import org.apache.tika.metadata.Metadata;

import java.io.File;

//import java.io.FileInputStream;

import java.io.IOException;

import java.io.InputStream;

public class NewtikaXpath {

public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException, SAXException, TikaException {

XPathParser xhtmlParser = new XPathParser("xhtml", XHTMLContentHandler.XHTML);

Matcher divContentMatcher = xhtmlParser.parse("/xhtml:html/xhtml:body/xhtml:table/descendant::node()");

ContentHandler xhandler = new MatchingContentHandler(new ToXMLContentHandler(), divContentMatcher);

AutoDetectParser parser = new AutoDetectParser();

//ToHTMLContentHandler htmlhandler = new ToHTMLContentHandler();

//ContentHandler textHandler = new BodyContentHandler();

Metadata xmetadata = new Metadata();

try (InputStream stream = TikaInputStream.get(new File("///httpmoneycnncomnewsworldiidHBNQL1.html"))){

parser.parse(stream, xhandler, xmetadata);

System.out.println("text:\n" + xhandler.toString());

}

}

}

the exception I am getting is

While I do understand that as per TIKA-1215 we should not wrap content handlers , I dont see any alternative approach to resolving this issue, as the simple bodycontenthandler is not helping, I verified a lot of stackoverflow cases similar to this but I couldn't find a solution any where. Any advice or solution or pointer is much appreciated.
