Re: selectPath with FilterExpression using $this

[Siegfried Baiz]

Hello Wing Yew, yes, that's what I'm looking for. Do you have any idea, why xo.selectPath("//[EMAIL PROTECTED]/@id]") doesn't work (for my XmlObject xo with ID-Attribute 'id')? Or is there some better why to receive all nodes (with idRef-Attribute) refering to my node xo? - thanks for your help - Siggi Wing Yew Poon wrote: Siggi, I think you're right. I guess what you need is a variable bound to the node represented by the XmlObject that you're executing the selectPath() from. "$this" is supposed to be that. - Wing Yew -----Original Message----- From: Siegfried Baiz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, March 15, 2006 3:09 AM To: user@xmlbeans.apache.org Subject: Re: selectPath with FilterExpression using $this For the _expression_ xo.selectPath("//[EMAIL PROTECTED]/@id]") I get an empty result-array. Doesn't the left- and the right-hand-side of that filter-_expression_ always refer to the same node, which would mean, that the xpath-engine tries to select any nodes with the two attributes @idRef & @id having the same value? - Siggi - Siggi, can you try xo.selectPath("//[EMAIL PROTECTED]/@id]"); and see if that works? - Wing Yew -----Original Message----- From: Siegfried Baiz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, March 14, 2006 10:11 AM To: user@xmlbeans.apache.org Subject: selectPath with FilterExpression using $this Hello, for a given XmlObject xo with an ID-Attribute 'id', I've tried to launch the following xpath-_expression_: xo.selectPath("//[EMAIL PROTECTED]/@id]") in order to get all nodes (with idRef-Attribute) refering to my node xo. Unfortunatlly this _expression_ seems not to work. I always get an java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException from the underlying net.sf.saxon.expr.XPathContextMajor.setLocalVariable(XPathContextMajor. j ava:213) At http://xmlbeans.apache.org/docs/2.0.0/guide/conSelectingXMLwithXQueryPa t hXPath.html I found the following notice: "Notice in the query _expression_ that the variable $this represents the current context node (the XmlObject that you are querying from). In this example you are querying from the document level XmlObject." After reading that sentence I've been thinking, that $this is somehow similar to "curent()" in XSLT, but maybe a got the meaning wrong. Does anyone know whats the problem here rsp. is there a better way to accomplish the same thing?
