Hi,
I am having problems evaluating an XPath expression that returns a date
String containing hyphens using dom4j.
For example:
<clients>
<client id="pc1">
<forenames>F1</forenames>
<surname>S1</surname>
<date_of_birth>1957-10-03</date_of_birth>
</client>
<client id="pc2">
<forenames>F2</forenames>
<surname>S2</surname>
<date_of_birth>1956-08-31</date_of_birth>
</client>
</clients>
Using the XPath:
/clients/[EMAIL PROTECTED]"pc1"]/date_of_birth/text()
Always evaluates to:
1957-10-03
However using this XPath:
/clients/[EMAIL PROTECTED]"pc2"]/date_of_birth/text()
I sometimes get either:
1956-
or
1956-10-
as the result. In both instances the result is always truncated immediately
after a hyphen.
To make matters worse the XPath is always evaluated correctly when I
execute my Websphere application on a windows operating system. However,
the problem seems to manifest itself when the WebSphere application is
executed on a unix based AIX server.
Has anyone seen anything like this before.
Thanks,
Derek
