Remove node from "dot-syntax"
Hi,
I trying to work with an xmlbean from a "dot-syntax" property (lacking a
better word..).
What I have to go on is a string "person.address.zip" and an xmlbean Person
corresponding to the xml below.
What I want to do is delete the "person.address.zip" element from the bean.
With beanutils I can easily get the value and change the value to null.
However the element would still be there, just empty...
is this completely undoable? feel that way :(
any input appreciated!
thanks

<address>
<name>asdasd</name>
<street>main street</street>
<zip>12345</zip> <-- want to remove this completely...
</address>
</person>

RE: Remove node from "dot-syntax"
Posted by Radu Preotiuc-Pietro <ra...@bea.com>.
FWIW, this is how I would approach the problem:
1. Turn the "dot-syntax" expression into an Xpath. If your Schema
doesn't have a target namespace, then this is trivial: replace the "."s
with "/"s. If it does, then it's a bit more complicated, because you
need to do something with localName(), I don't know Xpath well enough;
2. use XmlObject.selectPath() to find the node that you want to delete;
3. use XmlObject.newCursor().removeXml() to eliminate the node.
Hope this helps,
Radu

Hi,
It has minoccurences to 0 so it should be "deleteable".
I just dont know how to navigate to the node och remove it given only the
"person.address.zip"-string...
possible some sort of xquery?

How is the type defined in your xsd? You may want to check your
minOccurs or nillable attributes on teh xsd
