  • Method Summary

    Modifier and Type Method Description
    void clear()
    Clear any context information from this object
    boolean evaluate​(org.w3c.dom.Node contextNode, org.w3c.dom.Node xpathnode, java.lang.String str, org.w3c.dom.Node namespaceNode)
    Evaluate an XPath string and return true if the output is to be included or not.
    org.w3c.dom.NodeList selectNodeList​(org.w3c.dom.Node contextNode, org.w3c.dom.Node xpathnode, java.lang.String str, org.w3c.dom.Node namespaceNode)
    Use an XPath string to select a nodelist.
  • Method Details

    • selectNodeList

      org.w3c.dom.NodeList selectNodeList​(org.w3c.dom.Node contextNode, org.w3c.dom.Node xpathnode, java.lang.String str, org.w3c.dom.Node namespaceNode) throws javax.xml.transform.TransformerException
      Use an XPath string to select a nodelist. XPath namespace prefixes are resolved from the namespaceNode.
      Parameters:
      contextNode - The node to start searching from.
      xpathnode -
      str -
      namespaceNode - The node from which prefixes in the XPath will be resolved to namespaces.
      Returns:
      A NodeIterator, should never be null.
      Throws:
      javax.xml.transform.TransformerException
