Hello, Apologies if this appears again, I sent it from my gmail account but I think it got picked up as spam. --- I'm sorry to ask such a basic question but I have a use case where I receive a collection and want to access an element of that collection. I've tried several methods to get to an elements, indexing and calling methods but to no avail. The curretn thing I'm trying is this :
public void testJXContext(){ List<String> objTest = new ArrayList<String>(); objTest.add("test1"); objTest.add("test2"); JXPathContext objContext = JXPathContext.newContext(objTest); System.out.println(objContext.getValue("[1]")); } However that gives me a stack trace of : org.apache.commons.jxpath.JXPathException: Invalid XPath: '[1]'. Syntax error at the beginning of the expression at org.apache.commons.jxpath.ri.Parser.parseExpression(Parser.java:60) at org.apache.commons.jxpath.ri.JXPathContextReferenceImpl.compileExpressio n(JXPathContextReferenceImpl.java:218) at org.apache.commons.jxpath.ri.JXPathContextReferenceImpl.getValue (JXPathContextReferenceImpl.java:247) at com.ziath.eventregistration.email.test.EMailFormatterTest.testJXContext( EMailFormatterTest.java:18) <snip> I've tried various syntax for the JKPath including: [1] /[1] get(1) /get(1) I've also tried making a holder object with a public variable of list and used list, /list etc. I can't seem to get the right thing to work! This is being run through JUnit executing via eclipse. Could someone be so kind as to let me know what the syntax should be here to get it to work? Thanks, in advance for your help.
