I finally had time to try this out.
I tried the code, and I wrote some of my own. I could have sworn that when
I used selectObject("//threadsafe"), I got an error saying "false was not a
List or Node" or something like that. But, I can't duplicate the error, in
either your test or my code. Sigh.
I'd say it must be me. If I ever do find it, I'll be sure to document the
issue.
In the + side, I've been able to dispel two issue I thought I had with
dom4j. So, good for it.
I did notice something in my work on this supposed issue:
Doing a selectObject(//threadsafe) returns a List of Nodes, but there is
only 1 node in there. Why does it do that?
Code:
import org.dom4j.*;
import org.dom4j.io.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class test {
public static void main(String args[]) {
try {
SAXReader r=new SAXReader();
Document d=r.read(new FileInputStream("test.xml"));
Object o=d.selectObject("//threadsafe");
if(o instanceof List) {
System.out.println("List");
for(int i=0,size=((List)o).size();i<size;i++) {
Node n=((Node)((List)o).get(i));
System.out.println("Item #" + i + ":" + n.getText() + "End");
}
}
else if(o instanceof Node) {
System.out.println("Node");
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}

Hi Jim
I've added your test case to CVS. The xml document is in
xml/test/jimBrain.xml and I've added a JUnit test case to demonstrate what I
think you're trying to do at
dom4j/src/test/org/dom4j/xpath/TestSelectSingleNode.java
>From my testing it appears that dom4j 1.1 is working correctly for
selectSingleNode using your XML document. Is there a chance you're doing
something else differently?
BTW you can find an Element and add a comment to it. e.g.
Element server = (Element) document.selectSingleNode(
"/properties/server" );
server.addComment( "this is a comment..." );
For example, could you modify the test case to try reproduce your problem?
The test case is available in the daily build as well as via CVS...
James
