[jira] [Closed] (JXPATH-147) Union of extension functions returning Collection not properly handled

["Matt Benson (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JXPATH-147?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Matt Benson closed JXPATH-147.
------------------------------

    Resolution: Invalid

As you can see in ExtensionFunctionTest#testCollectionReturn(), the correct xpath by which to refer to the _elements_ of the {{Collection}} function result is {{test:collection()/name}} or {{test:collection/@name}}.  Similarly, {{test:collection()/name | test:collection()/name}} and {{test:collection()/@name | test:collection()/@name}} accomplish the union you require.

Sorry for the delay!

> Evaluating an xpath expression that is the union of two external functions that return a Collection doesn't return the full contents of each of the Collections.
> Looking through the code I found that UnionContext uses getCurrentNodePointer in setPosition which will ignores the index value that might have been set on the EvalContext when the pointer references a collection.
> I added "getValuePointer()" (as below) to the expression so the index would be respected and that seemed to cure the problem as tested by a simple test I added to ExtensionFunctionTest.java
>     public void testCollectionUnionReturn() {
>         String expr = "test:collection()|test:collection()";
>         List res = context.selectNodes(expr);
>         assertEquals("size " + expr, 4, res.size());
>     }
> Although all the project tests still pass I admit to not being quite sure that this is the proper solution but it works for me.
