splitToElement is working for an element

Hi,
 
Iam trying to parse an String form of XML message into an XML... If I use the follwoning it is thowring an exception as below.. Tried with name sapce also but no use.. 
 
ode:splitToElements($input.payload/tns:input,'></tns:ProviderSearchReplyType>',$output.payload/ProviderSearchReplyType'), but when i tried to assign to an XML element it is trowing a Class Cast exception for java.util.ArrayList..
 
If I use below it works, but it is creating an another element named ''ProviderSearchReplyType' in the output XML message...  I dont want to create an extra element, how can I do that..  I have attend the sample POC as attached.. 
 
ode:splitToElements($input.payload/tns:input,'></tns:ProviderSearchReplyType>','ProviderSearchReplyType')
 
Thanks
jagan

Hi Jagan,

The splitToElements function's first parameter is meant to be a String
(containing token-separated values) but instead you are passing a DOM Node
(tns:input).   Moreover, using a literal XML element as a token separator
would be a very fragile solution:  it would work only in some cases and
would fail for the general case.

I'm actually not clear on your intent here.   Could you elaborate?
