I'm starting a new POI-based maven project.
I'm converting XML into DOCX and I'm using XMLBeans to navigate my incoming XML.
Everything is working great but...
Now I want to use some XPath and XQuery with my XmlCursor and I'm unable to
work out the right Maven dependency incantations in order to get a working
system.
I'm using the following dependencies:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.poi</groupId>
<artifactId>poi</artifactId>
<version>3.17</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.poi</groupId>
<artifactId>poi-ooxml</artifactId>
<version>3.17</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.xmlbeans</groupId>
<artifactId>xmlbeans</artifactId>
<version>3.0.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>net.sf.saxon</groupId>
<artifactId>Saxon-HE</artifactId>
<version>9.8.0-12</version>
</dependency>
I'm pretty sure I need the separate xmlbeans-xpath library but the only thing I
can find in the Maven repo is 2.6.0 which dates from 2012 and if I include that
dependency the fetch fails because it can't find the ancient Saxon library it's
expecting.
If I run my code:
cursor.selectPath("*:cols/*:col");
With the above dependencies then I get this failure, not surprisingly:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Trying XBeans path engine... Trying XQRL... Trying
XDK... Trying delegated path engine... FAILED on *:cols/*:col
So my question is:
With POI 3.0.0 and using Maven, what do I need to do to get XPath/XQuery
support working?
Perhaps a better question might be: what would be involved in binding XmlBeans
to Saxon 9.8.*? If it's not too much work that's probably something I can do
and contribute back to the project. It would be nice, for example, to be able
to use XPath/XQuery 3 in this context.
Thanks,
Eliot
