Re: [JXPath] behaviour of getNode for DOM attributes?

[__matthewHawthorne]

I just ran a quick test and noticed the same thing.  I'm not involved 
with [jxpath], but this may be a bug.  I would wait for a response from 
one of the team members for a few days, and then think about filing a 
bugzilla issue.

I took a quick glance at the code, and the object is question is 
org.apache.commons.jxpath.ri.model.dom.DomAttributePointer.  Calling 
getNode() eventually get to the getImmediateNode() method, which either 
returns null or the attribute value.  It has the attribute object stored 
internally, so an easy fix could be just to return the attrib itself 
instead of the value.

I could make this fix myself, but I want to wait for someone who knows 
the codebase a little better to comment.

Hello,

can anybody explain why JXPath returns the value of an attribute instead 
of the attribute node when using JXPAth pointer.getNode() with a DOM 
object model?

this seems to be rather inconsistent with the behaviour when accessing 
an DOM element - here the DOM element is returned as expected. Is there 
a specific reasons why this is so? did i miss something?
