I have a question regarding multiple XPath evaluations on the same
document, specifically:
Assuming the base document is as follows:
<root>
<parameter id="1"/>
<parameter id="2"/>
<element name="kid1">
<parameter id="1"/>
</element>
<element name="kid2">
<parameter id="1"/>
<parameter id="2"/>
<parameter id="3"/>
</element>
</root>
I know I can retrieve all root::parameter nodes by allocating a new
xpath context for the document and then evaluating the expression
'/root/parameter'.
Let's say I traverse the document and am now at element with
name="kid2", how do I use the same, already allocated xpath context to
find all element::parameter nodes?
Do I have to specify the element name attribute in the query
('/eleme...@name='kid2']/parameter')?
Or is there a way for me to use the current 'element' node as the root
for the next xpath query?
(trying to avoid creating a new context for each of the queries on the
same document)
Thanks very much.
Piotrek
