Hi All,
I am working with MbXpath on the xml meassge with namespaces, where expression is returning null(always) when evaluateXpath. I did work with MbXpath in the past, but without namespaces. I used altova xml spy and xpath checker to generate the expression, which is giving the value I want, but when I put the same in MbXpath it is not working. Can you please help me on this. Thanks !
Request Xml: <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:feat="http://icm.xxx.com/soap/xxx" xmlns:com="http://icm.xxx.com/data/common" xmlns:set="http://icm.xxx.com/data/settings" xmlns:pres="http://icm.xxx.com/data/presence"><soapenv:Header/><soapenv:Body><feat:updateCurrentSettings><feat:sessionId com:SessionId="0332116575276"/>
Code:
MbXPath expr4 = new MbXPath("/soapenv:Envelope/soapenv:Body/feat:updateCurrentSettings/feat:sessionId/@com:SessionId");
expr4.addNamespacePrefix("feat","http://icm.xxx.com/soap/xxx");
expr4.addNamespacePrefix("com","http://icm.xxx.com/data/common");
expr4.addNamespacePrefix("set","http://icm.xxx.com/data/settings");
expr4.addNamespacePrefix("pres","http://icm.xxx.com/data/presence");
List list5 = (List)mRequest.evaluateXPath(expr4);
String sRequestMsg="";
if (!list5.isEmpty()) {
list5.size();
Iterator li = list5.iterator();
MbElement mEle = null;
while(li.hasNext()) {
mEle = (MbElement)li.next();
sRequestMsg = mEle.getValueAsString(); }
}
Here I am looking for the value of the attribute(com:SessionId) inside the xml tag <feat:sessionId>
I have even tried this : MbXPath expr4 = new MbXPath("//feat:sessionId/@*");
Message Broker v7.0.2 and on Windows Xp.

You may like using MessageSets with ESQL better than XPath. The toolkit provides namespace helps (CTRL+SPACE BAR) when using ESQL.

Hi,
I have to use java compute node, we do not use ESQL for some reason.
btw, in the below code snippet,
mRequest = globalEnv.getFirstElementByPath("./PCM/Request_xml") where i am setting the parser as "XMLNSC". stil no luck.

Hahahahahaha.
Who made the decision to outlaw ESQL in your work site?
I went to the doctor once. I pointed at my hand. I said "it hurts when I do that." Doctor said, don't do that!

I think we've done this to death on another thread. I know you enjoy throwing the same subject up until people agree with you, but we don't need this again.

You have something against ESQL, Vitor?

No, it's more personal. Your posts are becoming less useful and more predictable. This is not your blog, and we don't have duplicate threads here.

Your XPath expression looks OK to me - although you don't actually need this line:
| Code: |
| expr4.addNamespacePrefix("set","http://icm.xxx.com/data/settings"); |
...because your XPath expression never refers to that namespace.
Did you notice that it was easier to read that line of code, because I wrapped it in [c o d e] tags? Please do the same, as a courtesy to the people who are reading your question.
Next steps:
- Assume that the XPath engine in WMB works correctly. It usually does a pretty good job.
- Add a Trace node just before the JCN with pattern set to {Root}
- Take a user trace
The user trace will show you the exact message tree that the XPath engine is working against. That seems like a useful piece of diagnostic info 
You may even get lucky, and find something else in the user trace that leads you to understand the problem. |

What is globalEnv set to? Which message tree? What does the message tree structure look like?

The namespace prefix for "soapenv" is missing; "set" and "pres" aren't used. |

globalEnv is set to /PCM/Request_xml, where Request_xml = <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:feat="http://icm.xxx.com/soap/xxx" xmlns:com="http://icm.xxx.com/data/common" xmlns:set="http://icm.xxx.com/data/settings" xmlns:pres="http://icm.xxx.com/data/presence"><soapenv:Header/><soapenv:Body><feat:updateCurrentSettings><feat:sessionId com:SessionId="0332116575276"/>.
I have tried this xpath, where i don't need set 'all' namespace prefixes. Issue is till there.
| Code: |
MbXPath expr4 = new MbXPath("//feat:sessionId/[@*]");

Please excuse the question, but...
I assume that you know that the MbXPath facility operates on the message tree, and *not* on an (unparsed) XML string? So globalEnv needs to be the root of an XMLNSC message tree, and NOT a character string.
Have you tried the steps that I suggested in my previous post? How about putting in a Trace node and then posting the tree structure. |

Hi,
Thanks for the help. I was creating xmlnsc parser after getting the xml from the global env. Now, I have created the xmlnsc parser in the global env, before injecting xml message into global env, which resolved the issues.
