I am able to see the same EvaluateXPath issue Guillame Pool reported on NiFi 0.6.0. I created a template gist at https://gist.github.com/jvwing/7e7948d8eb5ad3643f38966b4ba3ce2e that illustrates this for me. You don't even need to run the whole thing, just try to start the EvaluateXPath processor. I see a pop-up error trying to start it "EvaluateXPath[id=b481c570-686a-4b6e-859c-9ebe27398fe1] is not in a valid state".
Trying to troubleshoot this, I attached a debugger and found an IllegalStateException thrown by StandardProcessorNode.verifyCanStart() on line 1141. The error text was: 'address' validated against '/message/address' is invalid because Unable to initialize XPath engine due to javax.xml.xpath.XPathFactoryConfigurationException: No XPathFactory implementation found for the object model: http://saxon.sf.net/jaxp/xpath/om I haven't figured out what change is the root cause, but the trail seems to lead into validating the dynamic XPath attribute.
