Dave,
With the XPE tool(under the Matching Nodes tab), it returns as follows:
<Patient>
<Age>
<Gender>
Both with Xalan and Jaxen with DOM4J, it returns as follows:
<Patient>
<Age>39</Age>
<Gender>Female</Gender>
<ContactInfo>
<PhoneNumber>123-456-7890</PhoneNumber>
<EmailAddress>[EMAIL PROTECTED]</EmailAddress>
</ContactInfo>
</Patient>
<Age>39</Age>
<Gender>Female</Gender>
More comments? Thank you.
Regards,
Pae
