Need some help with an expression...
Hello,
I'm fairly new to XPath and hope that you all can help me with a
problem.
Given an XML structure like the following:
<box>
<category name="someType">
<header>
<self>
<host>myhost</host>
<instance>9</instance>
</self>
<ref>
<host>thathost</host>
<instance>1010101</instance>
</ref>
</header>
And the value of the header instance is 9 (passed from a web page to a
servlet)
What expression can I use to get the ref elemenent under the same header
parent? I undserstand enough to produce
/box/category[@name='someType']/header, but I'm stumped as to how I
should proceed from there. I need to test the value of /self/instance
to find the matching element and then get the ref sibling of the same
header ancestor of the matching element.
TIA,
