Good to know. I have the body properly converting to a Document now. I suppose this may end up more of an XPath question, so I apologize in advance but I have looked everywhere for some complicated examples and haven't had much luck.
Let's say this is the document that is coming into my custom processor and being converted to a Document: <soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"> <soap:Body> <ns2:hotelContentResponse xmlns="http://atp.abv.com/schema/common/ATPCommonServiceTypes/v1" xmlns:ns2="http://atp.abc.com/schema/hotel/hcm/content/serviceDataTypes/v1" xmlns:ns3="http://atp.abc.com/schema/hotel/hcm/content/dataTypes/v1" xmlns:ns4="http://atp.abc.com/schema/common/content/serviceDataTypes/v1"> <header> <language isoCountryCode="US" isoLanguageCode="en" /> <headerVersion build="" major="1" minor="0" /> <transactionStatus overallStatusArea="HOTELCONTENT" overallStatusCode="0000" overallStatusDescription="OK" transactionSuccessful="true" /> <serviceTransactionDuration endTime="2011-11-21T11:21:46.906-05:00" startTime="2011-11-21T11:21:46.390-05:00" /> </header> <ns2:hotelContent> <ns4:contentList attributeNumber="718" name="Airport Details"> <ns4:compound attributeId="1390159538" attributeNumber="718" name="Airport Details" valueChangeDate="2009-07-01T04:00:00.000"> <ns4:textLine attributeId="1390159539" attributeNumber="719" name="Airport Code" valueChangeDate="2009-07-01T04:00:00.000"> <ns4:text>ATL</ns4:text> </ns4:textLine> </ns4:compound> <ns4:compound attributeId="1390159538" attributeNumber="718" name="Airport Details" valueChangeDate="2009-07-01T04:00:00.000"> <ns4:textLine attributeId="462364234" attributeNumber="719" name="Airport Code" valueChangeDate="2009-07-01T04:00:00.000"> <ns4:text>NYC</ns4:text> </ns4:textLine> </ns4:compound> </ns4:contentList> </ns2:hotelContent> </ns2:hotelContentResponse> </soap:Body> </soap:Envelope> I am trying to get a Node List of the airport codes (in this doc ATL and NYC). What I have been trying is XPath xpath = XPathFactory.newInstance().newXPath(); XPathExpression expr = xpath.compile("//textLine[attributeNumber='719']"); NodeList nodes = (NodeList)expr.evaluate(payload, XPathConstants.NODESET); for (int i = 0; i < nodes.getLength(); i++) { // Do Stuff } I am not sure if the document needs to have other information attached to it such as XML version for xpath to treat it properly or if it is something else, but I haven't been able to get any nodes returned at all on the document, even when trying expressions as simple as "//hotelContent" and such. Is there something I am missing? -- View this message in context: http://camel.465427.n5.nabble.com/Custom-Processor-with-XPath-tp5011728p5013963.html Sent from the Camel - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
