If I understand correctly, you want a single XPath expression that
will return the element AAA with its child element DDD "hidden." Did I
understand you correctly? That can't be done in XPath - if the AAA node
is returned by an expression, you have access to all its children.
Perhaps an XMLFilter would satisfy your requirement. See [1] for
more information.
Thanks,
