Hi,
Um, I am not really clarified with the problem here. I agree that the full
tree should be built before we can evaluate XPath. Adding the element to a
new OMDocument, however, just to get this done seems not right.
Additionally, the original OMDocument created by the builder will be there
even if you detach the element. Detach will only remove the element from the
tree to which it belongs. To check this, you can get the builder from the
detached element and ask for the OMDocument. IMHO, we can call
result.build() if necessary.
Btw. I am not clear why XPath doesn't work on the detached element. I did a
simple test as follows and XPath worked, may be I have missed something
(please let me know if so).
public static void main(String[] args) throws XMLStreamException,
JaxenException {
String str = "<hello><something>wow
nice</something><anotherthing><insideanother>great</insideanother></anotherthing></hello>";
StAXOMBuilder builder = new StAXOMBuilder(new
ByteArrayInputStream(str.getBytes()));
OMElement root = builder.getDocumentElement();
OMDocument doc = builder.getDocument();
System.out.println(doc == null);
OMElement anotherthing = root.getFirstChildWithName(new
QName("anotherthing"));
anotherthing.detach();
doc = ((StAXOMBuilder)anotherthing.getBuilder()).getDocument();
System.out.println(doc == null);
AXIOMXPath xpath = new AXIOMXPath("//insideanother");
OMElement node = (OMElement) xpath.selectSingleNode(anotherthing);
System.out.println(node.getText());
}
Thanks,
Saliya
