| Can you please let me know if we have JAVA's evaluateXpath equivalent function in ESQL? |

If someone reading this forum knows an answer I'm sure they'll post it.
you could help yourself by telling us where you have looked for the answer

Davis,
am sorry.
I checked in the infocenter. I do not see any equivalent function in ESQL. 6 months ago I developed a message flow usig ESQL. I had to write a ESQL function to evaluate XPATH. it breaks the XPATH ,say /A/B/C, into tokens A, B and C, and references them one by one to get the value.
that interface had to handle very simple xpaths like that.But now for my new interface, I am looking for a standard ESQL function to evaluate XPTAHs. |

ESQL does not support XPath directly, but the ESQL SELECT and THE functions can offer similar functionality.
Some of the properties for built-in nodes support XPath. Consult the Info Center for more details. |

| You can call the Java method from your ESQL code. |

No. Message flows can only call static Java methods from ESQL. |

Iwill have to handle about 100 XPATHs in my code. In that case i will have to call this static java function for 100 times. I dont know if it impacts the performance!
One basic question, i went thru JAVA 1.4.2(our Broker is running on this version of JAVA) API documentation to see if any class provides a function similar to evaluateXpath. I couldnt find any.
any insights on this would be helpful. Many thanks.

I think your options are:
a) stay with ESQL, and learn to use the SELECT statement.
b) switch to Java, and use evaluateXPath |

No. Message flows can only call static Java methods from ESQL. |
So he can create a class with a static method with an MbElement argument (reference in ESQL). Then he can call the MbElement.evaluateXPath method in that static method. This is a possible solution for using the evaluateXPath functionality via ESQL. Or he could use some other XPath java library to return what he needs. |

Thank you for your response.
A sample XPATH that i will have to handle is as shown below. I was wondering how it is possible to use ESQL SELECT in this case.
boolean((/ABC/Policy/Pa/PersonalAutoNamedNonOwnerCov/PersonalAutoNamedNonOwnerCovLiabilityCoverage/CoverageOnPolicyIndicator = 10) and (/ABC/Policy/Pa/PersonalAutoNamedNonOwnerCov/PersonalAutoNamedNonOwnerCovLiabilityCoverage/CoverageType = 'SL'))
As suggested i am planning to use the jar below and write a static java method that can be invoked from ESQL. please let me know your insights.
C:\IBM\MessageBrokersToolkit\6.0\ibtoolkit\eclipse\plugins\com.ibm.etools.mft.jcn_6.0.2\jplugin2.jar

My java class is going to look like this:
import com.ibm.broker.plugin.MbElement;
public class Test {
public Test()
{
}
public static String ESQLEvaluateXpath(MbElement t, String xp)
{
}
} |

It is working. Thank you for your support.
Please let me know if there is any performance impact because of this kind of calls. |

Wouldn't you be in a better position to let us know if there is a performance impact? |

| I tested.using this funcation i could make 2500 evaluateXPATH calls in about 800 milli seconds. The input XML message had about 5000 elements. |
