Hello,
for testing our own XPath implementation I wrote some XPath tests.
Some of the tests showed strange behaviour. The two XPathes I have in mind
are '//*' and 'descendant::*', both evaluated on the root context.
The order of the returned objects is different.
XML:
<element1> <element1-1> <element1-1-1/> <element1-1-2/> </element1-1> <element1-2> <element1-2-1/> <element1-2-2/> </element1-2> <element1-3> <element1-3-1/> <element1-3-2/> </element1-3> </element1>
result of '//*' (same for non-abbreviated syntax '/descendant-or-self::node()/child::*'):
element1 element1-1 element1-2 element1-3 element1-1-1 element1-1-2 element1-2-1 element1-2-2 element1-3-1 element1-3-2
result of 'descendant::*'
element1 element1-1 element1-1-1 element1-1-2 element1-2 element1-2-1 element1-2-2 element1-3 element1-3-1 element1-3-2
The second order is the one I expect even if it's a node set and so
has no sorting (document order) or alphabetically sorted as I heard in
JXPath.
What's really strange is the different behaviour of the two expressions.
Regards,
Joerg
