I am using JXPath 1.2 to traverse map based java object hierarchy like shown
below:
public class Root {
public Map objects;
}
The objects map has the key as a string object type and the value is a map of
different object instances of that type (keyed under individual object id's).
I am using the following code to find specific objects of a specific type (say
"CustObj1"):
Root root = new Root();
...
JXPathContext context = JXPathContext.newContext(root);
String
myStr=(String)context.getValue("/objects/CustObj1/*[name='Cust1']/CustInfo/InfoField1");
I have following questions:
1. Does the above xpath search restrict itself to the element in the objects
map with key=CustObj1 or does it search entire map. From our performance
figures, we feel as if it is going the entire map - though we would expect it
to restrict the search to objects of type=CustObj1 (as specified in the xpath
expression).
2. What can I do to have jxpath search only the submap for CustObj1 - I tried
creating a new context with that submap as root - but that did not work.
Thanks.
