Michael Osipov commented on VELTOOLS-197:
-----------------------------------------
Interesting, that seems odd!
> xmlTool.find("./text()") (XPATH) not the same as xmlTool.getText () (METHOD)
> when & in text

> Key: VELTOOLS-197
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELTOOLS-197
> Project: Velocity Tools
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: GenericTools
> Affects Versions: 3.1
> Reporter: steven van vlierberghe
> Priority: Major
>
> #foreach ($item2 in $xmlf1.find("/input/rep/x"))
> xpath: ${item2.find("./text()")} xml: $item2.getText()
> #end
> with $xmlf1 an XmlTool instance initialized on the following inputfile:
> {code:java}
> <input>
> <rep>
> <x>R&R</x>
> <x>R&B</x>
> </rep>
> </input>
> {code}
> using VeloctityTools-XmlTool 2.0 : find("./text()") returns same as
> getText() for an xmlTool instance (and complying with the expectation)
> {code:java}
> xpath: R&R xml: R&R
> xpath: R&B xml: R&B
> {code}
> However, using XmlTool 3.1, the xpath construct does not return the same as
> the getText,
> so the xpath does not comply with expectation
> {code:java}
> xpath: R&R xml: R&R
> xpath: R&B xml: R&B
> {code}
>
> PS:
> it can be solved in 3.1, by replacing $item2.find("./text()") by
> $item2.find("./text()").node().getNodeValue()
> BUT
> this really requires to adapt the script
> the actual problem is that I give support in our software to users for
> running their own Velocity scripts in our software.
> In the next version of our software, we upgraded Velocity + VelocityTools to
> 3.1
> and as a consequence, scripts of the users might break;
> meaning, this regression issue will impose our users to have to adapt their
> scripts that are used in production
> and for sure, they will not be happy having to do so
