Hi,
Thanks for the help from everyone. As David said, I can use the code he
demonstrated to get the value in the attribute of a node.
However, when I'm trying the same with xalan-c 1.3 (that is the version I have
to work with), I can't do so since an exception is being thrown.
Its being thrown at this point in the code:
const NodeRefList theResult =
theEvaluator.selectNodeList(theDOMSupport,
theContextNode,
XalanDOMString(xpath.c_str()).c_str(),
theDocument->getDocumentElement());
That seems to work fine when I compile using xalan 1.5, but when I use xalan
1.3 , an exception is being thrown whenever the xpath that is given is tryign
to select an attribute ("//name/@first" being the example in this case).
Can anyone throw any light/advice on what I can do to obtain a collection of
all the "first" names from the foo.xml example that's distributed alongwith
xalan-c++ ?
Thanks,
Kaushal
