I think you can access the class and name of the type as getClass() is
available on any Object.  The xpath would look like:

"./employee/address/class/name"

This should be the rough equivalent of <context
object>.getEmployee().getAddress().getClass().getName()

You could also try specifically invoking those methods in your xpath -

"getName(getClass(employee/address))"

Let's say your root-node object is a Manager object (e.g. it has the
Employee property accessible via getEmployee()):

JXPathContext myContext = JXPathContext.newContext(myManagerObject);
System.out.println("Address type: " +
myContext.getValue("./employee/address/class/name");

Hope this helps,

Hi!
How can I  retrieve type information using jxpath?

I need to determine type of element that resides in specified location.


Something like :

String addressType = <some>.getTypeByPath("/employee/address");

,so

System.out.println(addressType);


prints full qualified class name: com.myapp.Address





Thanks a lot!
