Summary: Problem with XPath and retrieving text
Initial Comment:
I have a Junit test similar to the following:
public void test() {
fiinal String XML = "<a><b>Water T &
D-46816</b></a>";
final String XPATH = "a/b/text()";
final String EXPECTED_VALUE = "Water T & D-46816";
XPath xpathObj = createXpathObject(XPATH );
Document doc = createDocument(XML );
Object node = xpathObj.selectSingleNode(doc);
if (node instanceof Text) {
result = ((Text) node).getText();
}
assertEquals(EXPECTED_VALUE, result));
}
which fails because getText() only returns: Water T
interrogating the node object returned from
selectSingleNode indicates that the expected result is
present as 3 seperate text elements in the content
(ArrayList) member variable
I can retrieve the value if I tweak the approach to use:
final String XPATH = "a/b";
if (node instanceof Element) {
return (String) ((Element) node).getData();
}
If i dont have entity references then the first
approach always works. Therefore this seems to be a
bug, please correct me if i am wrong.
