It seems that XPath /@attribute queries don't work in Xindice! Please tell me I am wrong.
When I execute the following xpath query: xindice xpath -c /db/websystem -q "/Classes/Class[last()]" I get the following results: <?xml version="1.0"?> <Class name="Page" id="1" superclass="1" template="1" xmlns:src="http://xml.apache.org/xindice/Query"; src:col="/db/websystem" src:key="class"> <Elements> <Element name="Title" class="Single Line Text" required="true" /> <Element name="Author" class="Single Line Text" required="false" /> <Element name="Keywords" class="Single Line Text" required="false" /> <Element name="Description" class="Single Line Text" required="false" /> </Elements> </Class> This is all ok, but when I then attempt to get the attribute 'id' only, using the following query: xindice xpath -c /db/websystem -q "/Classes/Class[last()]/@id" This is valid XPath according to the spec, yet I get NOTHING! This happens both from the command line, _and_ from within code. The same happens if I used 'attribute::' instead of the abbreviation '@'. Does anyone know why? Has it just not been implemented? I'm using Xindice 1.0. Cut-n-pasted from the XPath Spec at http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath : "attribute::name selects the name attribute of the context node" "There is also an abbreviation for attributes: attribute:: can be abbreviated to @" "../@lang selects the lang attribute of the parent of the context node" Thanks, Dominic Gamble Stratlink
