Hi,
I am using JXPath 1.3 and trying to evaluate a XPath expression that has the
'$' character in it.
My path looks like this: "//data/filter$SearchURN" and I get this error:
[junit] WARN (JexlExpression:evaluate) - Caught exception evaluating:
org.apache.commons.jexl.expressioni...@51ef4e. Reason:
org.apache.commons.jxpath.JXPathInvalidSyntaxException: Invalid XPath:
'//data/filter$SearchURN'. Syntax error after: '//data/f'
[junit] org.apache.commons.jxpath.JXPathInvalidSyntaxException: Invalid
XPath: '//data/filter$SearchURN'. Syntax error after: '//data/f'
My suspicion is that the $ sign is causing the following text to be treated as
a variable.
I tried escaping it with '\' and '$' but that didn't solve the problem. I even
tried replacing $ with '$'. That did not work etiher.
Is there a way to escape the dollar sign so that it is taken literally and not
treated as a special character?
Thanks.
