Matt Benson reopened JXPATH-86: ------------------------------- grrr, strike all that about the container. I was thinking of "container" as generic for "array or collection" but here Container is an interface specific to JXPath. > Children returned instead of self for arrays when using . selector > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: JXPATH-86 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JXPATH-86 > Project: Commons JXPath > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 1.2 Final > Reporter: Adam Crume > > The . selector should always return the context node, and the * selector > should return child elements. However, this doesn't work for arrays: > JXPathContext context = JXPathContext.newContext(new HashMap()); > context.setValue("array", new String[] {"one", "two", "three"}); > context.setValue("array2", new String[][] { {"a", "b"}, {"c", "d"}}); > context.setValue("person", new Person("Bob", 25)); > String[] paths = {"/array", "/array/.", "/array/*", "/person", "/person/.", > "/person/*"}; > for(int i = 0; i < paths.length; i++) { > Pointer pointer = context.getPointer(paths[i]); > System.out.println(pointer.asPath()); > Object value = context.getValue(paths[i]); > System.out.println(value); > System.out.println(); > } > This produces the following output: > /[EMAIL PROTECTED]'array'] > [Ljava.lang.String;@59b659b6 > /[EMAIL PROTECTED]'array'][1] > one > /[EMAIL PROTECTED]'array'][1]/bytes[1] > 111 > /[EMAIL PROTECTED]'person'] > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > /[EMAIL PROTECTED]'person'] > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > /[EMAIL PROTECTED]'person']/age > 25 -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
