XPath selector fails to select messages correctly when the expression evaluates 
to 'true'

                 Key: AMQ-2179
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/activemq/browse/AMQ-2179
             Project: ActiveMQ
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Selector
    Affects Versions: 5.2.0, 5.1.0, 5.0.0
         Environment: Windows XP
            Reporter: Giovani Seben
             Fix For: 5.3.0


Currently the XalanXPathEvaluator class will return 'true' or 'false' based on 
the existence of a node in the XML document that matches the XPath expression. 
However, XPath expressions themselves can return values of true or false based 
on a comparison criteria. 
For example, for an input message:
{code}
<root>
  <a key='first' num='1'/>
  <b key='second' num='2'>b</b>
</root>
{code}
A consumer using an XPath selector with an expression such as: 
{code}
XPATH '/root/b/text()="b"'
{code}
should successfully select and consume the message above. 
The evaluator today would attempt to retrieve a XML node with that expression, 
but it would fail and return false since the returned value of the expression 
is a Boolean.

The XPath Selector should be able to handle Boolean expressions.
