[jxpath] Syntax with @name

I have a jxpath expression question. 

 

Map m = new HashMap();

    Map[] dd = new HashMap[2];

    dd[0] = new HashMap();

    dd[0].put("tag", "10");

    dd[0].put("score", "100");

    dd[1] = new HashMap();

    dd[1].put("tag", "11");

    dd[1].put("score", "90");

    Map ddk = new HashMap();

    ddk.put("dataDescription", dd);

    m.put("Values", ddk);

    

    JXPathContext xpathContext = IDataJXPathContext.newContext(m);

    Object works  =
xpathContext.getValue("//dataDescription[tag='10']");   //This returns
the correct data as expected

    Object doesntWork  =
xpathContext.getValue("//.[@name='dataDescription'][tag='10']"); // This
does not bring up anything

 

 

I have to use @name as the actual names have special characters in them.
Can anybody help with what the correct syntax for this should be ?

 

Thanks

 

Rupinder

That does not bring up anything. The tag is inside dataDescription.  The
funny thing is that both

//.[@name='dataDescription'] and //dataDescription bring up the same
results - a list of dataDescription nodes. So I was just hoping that it
would just work from there on by adding the [tag='10'] criteria to pick
the correct one. While the first one does do that the second one does
not.

Have you tried [@name='dataDescription' and @tag='10'] or something
along these lines?
