Issue while getting value for array element
-------------------------------------------

                 Key: JXPATH-137
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JXPATH-137
             Project: Commons JXPath
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: vaibhav kumthekar


Dear Sir,
 
I am subscribed user.
 
I am using JXPath and facing an issue while getting a value for array element.
Scenario: My XML is like this:
<test>
    <testRecArray>
        <testRec>......</testRec>
        <testRec>......</testRec>
    </testRecArray>    
</test>
To get the value for each testRec element, I would iterate through the 
testRecArray element using xpath 
context.iterate("/test/testRecArray/testRecArray") and get the iterator.
 
But, I am getting null for this xpath. I am using the same pattern for other 
XMLs and it works fine for me. e.g.
<test>
    <testRecList>
        <testRec>......</testRec>
        <testRec>......</testRec>        
    </testRecList>    
</test>
It works for the /test/testRecList/testRecArray xpath.
 
I can smell that the problem could be because of the element which holds array 
elements have 'Array' in its name. JXPath internally could be checking for such 
names and as this is not an array element but parent element, path is 
unexpected and returns me null.
 
Please advise what should be xpath in such cases.
 
Thanks and regards,
Vaibhav
