Dave,
It is partially working though, that was a nice XPath you gave. I
tested both Jaxen with DOM4J and XPE(seems like XPE also uses
Jaxen as well), the result was same as follows:
<Age>38</Age>
<Gender>Female</Gender>
It returns other sibing nodes excluding the <ContactInfo> element.
That's I wanted to see in that level, but I also need the other
elements, including their parent node, e.g., <Patient> element. To
wit, the result should be as follows:
<Patient>
<Age>38</Age>
<Gender>Female</Gender>
</Patient>
Any more comments? Thank you.
Regards,
Pae
