I am using JDOM and Jaxen together but I fail to get the desired result. I'm unsure whether it's my lack of knowledge in this area or a bug.
I have the following piece of code:- 1. public class TestJaxen{ 2. public static void test(String fileName, String outerXPathExpression, String innerXPathExpression) { 3. try{ 4. SAXBuilder builder = new SAXBuilder(); 5. Document doc = builder.build( fileName ); 6. XPath xpath = new JDOMXPath( outerXPathExpression ); 7. List results = xpath.selectNodes(doc); 8. Iterator iterator = results.iterator(); 9. Navigator navigator = xpath.getNavigator(); 10. while (iterator.hasNext()) { 11. Object result = iterator.next(); 12. XPath xpathInner = new JDOMXPath( innerXPathExpression ); 13. Object resultsInner = xpathInner.selectSingleNode(result); 14. Navigator navigatorInner = xpathInner.getNavigator(); 15. String valueInner = StringFunction.evaluate(resultsInner, navigatorInner); 16. System.out.println("valueInner: " + valueInner ); 17. } 18. } 19. } For reference I pass "dsp_f9_21.xml" "TRADING/DOCUMENT" "S.SG01/S.RFF.Reference/C.C506.Reference" as parameters where the file is as detailed:- <?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"?> <TRADING> <DOCUMENT DocNumber = "1" DocType = "Despatch Advice"> <S.SG01> <S.RFF.Reference> <C.C506.Reference>Hello</C.C506.Reference> </S.RFF.Reference> </S.SG01> </DOCUMENT> <DOCUMENT DocNumber = "2" DocType = "Despatch Advice"> <S.SG01> <S.RFF.Reference> <C.C506.Reference>Hello2</C.C506.Reference> </S.RFF.Reference> </S.SG01> </DOCUMENT> </TRADING> Essentially, there are a number of DOCUMENTs in each file and I want to process the data held within each DOCUMENT. My strategy was to XPath the file, using "TRADING/DOCUMENT", passing the node-set to a List as in line#7. Subsequently, I would iterate through the List and process each DOCUMENT in turn using the second XPath expression, "S.SG01/S.RFF.Reference/C.C506.Reference", on the result from the first execution of XPath to achieve this. Document ------> Node set ---------> Node ------> value xpath iterate xpath I hope this makes sense. I managed to do this with Oracle's XDK before giving up with their bug-ridden implementation. Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.
