BTW ".[4]" is an invalid XPath, should be "self::*[4]". But this one can not refer to any node as "self::*" (and also ".") always refer to exactly one node.
I'm afraid I don't understand your explaination. I can't see difference between ".[4]" and "self::*". ".[4]" works in JXTemplateGenerator. I'm not a XPath GURU so that I'd willingly hear an answer.
