XPath Request Into XML File

[Yoann HENRY <y....@proxiad.com>]

Hi,

 

I would like to know if we can made an XPath query into an XML file saved as
a binary in the JCR repo.

 

I have saved an XML file into a Node (myFileNode) and I would like to get
some informations saved in the file.

 

JCR Structure:

 

/

|- myFileNode

|             |-jcr:contains (property)

|                             |-XML file as binary

|-anOtherNode

 

 

XML file:

 

<root>

  <child1>

    <child12>the value to find</child12>

  </child1>

</root>

 

XPath query:

 

//myFileNode[jcr:contains]/child1/child12

 

I would like to obtain the value of the element named child12.

I tested with the query above and it doesn’t work, it looks for a Node named
“child1” or it must go into the XML file to find it.

Is there a solution to do it??

 

 

Thanks

No this is not possible. XPath queries are done on nodes and properties.
If you need to query the xml with XPath, I think you should either store
every xml element as a node and attribute as a property (though this
might get way to big ofcourse) or fetch the xml binary file and parse
it.
