Java Application Vs. Commandline Tool

XPath query on the string value of element/attribute works in java
application connected to the xindice, but not from command line

XML
<book>
<chapter name="eric"/>
<chapter>test</chapter>
</book>

XPath Query
//chapter[@name="eric"]

Works from a java app, but failed to find the doc from xindice's command
line tool.

Eric,
Please check out

http://wiki.apache.org/xindice/XindiceFAQ/AttributeValue

The basic problem is you have to enclose the whole xpath in double 
quotes and single quote any values when running from the windows command 
line.

So change your command line query to: "//chapter[@name='eric']"

Dan
