Hi,
First of all I want to say how I am happy to use this great library and
congratulate the author.
I would like to submit a little enhancement for the method getPath() of
AbstractElement class.
Indeed as it is written it didn't produce a good XPath if there is an
element repetition. For this I write this code :
public String getPath() {
Element parent = getParent();
int i = 1;
if(parent != null){
for(Iterator it = parent.elementIterator(); it.hasNext();){
Element eltTmp = (Element)it.next();
if(this == eltTmp){
break;
}
if(getName().equalsIgnoreCase(eltTmp.getName())){
i++;
}
}
}
return (parent != null)
? getPath() + "/" + getQualifiedName() +"[" + i + "]"
: getQualifiedName();
}
As example this code will produce this XPath query :
resources/business[1]/bus[1]/line[2]/@name
in place of :
resources/business/bus/line/@name
which don't point to the same node.
I hope this will help.
Every comments are welcome
Emmanuel
