I am new to XPATH and I have to convert a string containing an XML tree into
a document then search the document for specific elements and attribute
values.
Here's a small example of my code... I just do not know how to access the
values of the FirstName, LastName elements and the '@Type' attributes of
these..
Please help. Thank you.
Greg

// create the document from the string
Document parmDoc = DocumentHelper.parseText( xSearchParms );
searchPath =
"//Parms/CAP/RelationshipRecord/Customer/NameDetails/PersonName";
// last name
Node nodePersonName = parmDoc.selectSingleNode( searchPath );
String lName = nodePersonName.valueOf( "LastName" );
String lNameAttrib = nodePersonName.valueOf( "@Type" );
// first name
Node nodeFname = parmDoc.selectSingleNode( searchPath + "/FirstName" );
String fName = nodeFname.valueOf( "FirstName" );
String fNameAttrib = nodeFname.valueOf( "@Type" );
// country
searchPath = "//Parms/CAP/RelationshipRecord/Customer" +
"/AddressDetails/Country";
Node nodeCountry = parmDoc.selectSingleNode( searchPath );
String country = nodeCountry.valueOf( "CountryName" );
// city
searchPath = searchPath + "/AdministrativeArea[ @Type='State' ]";
Node nodeCity = parmDoc.selectSingleNode( searchPath );
String city = nodeCity.valueOf( "Locality" );
String cityAttrib = nodeCity.valueOf( "@Type" );
