With kind regards, Gabriel. -----Original Message----- From: Patrick Luebbecke [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 01, 2008 12:16 PM To: Xmltask-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Xmltask-users] Reading out an attribute lo all i'd like to find the id attribute in the /application/module/ path. the command i'm using to get that attribute is: <copy path="/application/module/@id" attrvalue="true" property="id_value"/> but when i echo the property it just gives me the property name $ {id_value} , which means that it has not been read out of my xml structure. in several cases i have to put a : in front of my path, for reading out the /application/display-name/text() i have to use <copy path="/:application/:display-name/text()" property="dn_value"/> to make it work. but i have read a lot of xpath tutorials but i did not found a lesson where i have to put colon in front of every node. so how do i read out this id as mentioned above ? it worked for me 2 weeks ago but after trying it again today i only get an empty property. Thats my xml file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <application id="Application_ID" version="1.4" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/application_1_4.xsd";> <display-name>EARFILE</display-name> <module id="WebModule_1213257640343"> <web> <web-uri>ABCPortlets.war</web-uri>> <context-root>ABCPortlets</context-root>. </web> </module> <security-role id="SecurityRole_1220508656187"> <role-name>allAuthenticated</role-name> </security-role> </application> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Xmltask-users mailing list Xmltask-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/xmltask-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Xmltask-users mailing list Xmltask-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/xmltask-users
