Dear all,
First, thanks for your quick response.
However:
1- Xalan doesn't concatenate the text into one, but returns the text before
CDATA only.
javax.xml.xpath.XPathExpression expression =
xpath.compile("/root/text()");
org.w3c.dom.NodeList result = (NodeList) expression.evaluate(new
org.xml.sax.InputSource("foo.xml"), XPathConstants.NODESET);
for( int i=0; i < result.getLength(); i++ ) {
System.out.println(((Text)
result.item(i)).getTextContent());//prints 'a' only, without CDATA or 'b'
}
2- I see the point raised in secion 5.7 of Xpath 1.0, but wonder why both
Internet Explorer and Firefox do not behave accordingly, please find below:
<html><head><title>foo</title><script>
function test() {
var text='<root>a<![CDATA[ CDATA ]]>b</root>';
if (window.ActiveXObject) {
var doc=new ActiveXObject('Microsoft.XMLDOM');
doc.async=false;
doc.loadXML(text);
} else {
var parser=new DOMParser();
var doc=parser.parseFromString(text,'text/xml');
}
alert(doc.documentElement.childNodes.length);
}
</script></head><body onload='test()'>
</body></html>
Many thanks,
Ahmed
