ABAP Mapping XPATH Expression

Hello to all,
I'm trying to create a ABAP    based mapping without xslt, as xslt-mapping is running in a timeout.
Is there a way to execute XPATH expressions on a document?
The method "get_elements_by_name" isn't helpfull, as I need to specify a certain path within the xml-document.
Thanks for your suggestions.
Best regards,
Christian

I dont think it will be possible untill you include XSLT mapping in to ABAP mapping as you would need a compiler for XPATH expressions.

  • Help Page Error: Using XPath expressions as list indexes and map keys

    The help page says for maps to use the XPath expression
    /process_data/mapvar[@id='/process_data/@stringvar']
    But in reality for things to work you have to omit the quotations.

    thanks a lot for your help..
    there are total 162 records in the v$open_cursor for that user.
    among that the open cursor is only 4 and open-recursive cursor is only 6 for that user.
    in my session i am executing only the renaming of the constraints and nothing more.
    When i have queried the v$open_cursor for cursor_type='OPEN' for all the users, then i got that it has exceeded the value of open_cursors parameter.
    So how can i resolve that....

  • Java Mapping, XSLT Mapping, ABAP Mapping

    Hi Experts,
                     Could any one explain what is the main features of the following Mapping. How to pick the mapping?
    Java Mapping - When to use and what is the advantage.
    ABAP Mapping - When to use and what is the advantage.
    XSLT Mapping - When to use and what is the advantage.
    Graphical Mapping - When to use and what is the advantage.
    cheers,
    Sunee

    There are 4 types of mapping in XI
    1. Graphical Mapping
    2. XSLT Mapping
    3. JAVA Mapping
    4. ABAP Mapping
    When to use Message mapping
    1 When the logic for your mapping is simple and straight forward, you can use
    Advantages of message mapping
    1)Easy to use.
    2) has GUI drag and drop.
    3) used for simple mapping cases
    4) it does not involve any complex logic
    Disadvantages of message mapping
    1)has limitation in terms of complex hierarchy
    When to use Java mapping
    1) Java mapping are used when graphical mapping cannot help you.
    Advantages of Java Mapping
    1)you can use Java APIs and Classes in it.
    2) file look up or a DB lookup is possible
    3) DOM is easier to use with lots of classes to help you create nodes and elements.
    Disadvantages of Java mapping
    1)SAX parser is not easy to develop
    2)DOM parser is intensive
    3) Java knowledge is required
    4) bit complexer
    XSLT Mapping - When to use
    1)When the required output is other than XML like Text, Html or XHTML (html displayed as XML )
    2)When default namespace coming from graphical mapping is not required or is to be changed as per requirements.
    3)When data is to be filtered based on certain fields (considering File as source)
    4)When data is to be sorted based on certain field (considering File as source)
    5)When data is to be grouped based on certain field (considering File as source)
    Advantages of using XSLT mapping
    1)XSLT program itself defines its own target structure.
    2)XSLT programs can be imported into SAP XI. Message mapping step can be avoided. One can directly go for interface mapping once message interfaces are created and mapping is imported.
    3)XSLT provides use of number of standard XPath functions that can replaces graphical mapping involving user defined java functions easily.
    4)File content conversion at receiver side can be avoided in case of text or html output.
    5)Multiple occurrences of node within tree (source XML) can be handled easily.
    6)XSLT can be used in combination with graphical mapping.
    7)Multi-mapping is also possible using xslt.
    8)XSLT can be used with ABAP and JAVA Extensions
    Disadvantages of using XSLT mapping
    1)Resultant XML payload can not be viewed in SXMB_MONI if not in XML format (for service packs < SP14).
    2)Interface mapping testing does not show proper error description. So errors in XSLT programs are difficult to trace in XI but can be easily identified outside XI using browser.
    3)XSLT mapping requires more memory than mapping classes generated in Java.
    4)XSLT program become lengthier as source structure fields grows in numbers.
    5)XSLT program sometimes become complex to meet desired functionality.
    6)Some XSL functions are dependent on version of browser.
    Advantages of Abap Mapping
    1) A person comfortable with OOABAP can go for ABAP mapping instead.
    Disadvantages of Abap Mapping
    1) Abap knowledge is required
    2) bit compexer

  • XPATH-expressions and namespaces

    I have a xml-file for testing my xpath expression, like this:
    <a>
       <b>
          <c>aaa</c>
             <d>
                <e>111</e>
             </d>
       </b>
       <b>
          <c>bbb</c>
             <d>
                <e>222</e>
             </d>
       </b>
       <b>
          <c>ccc</c>
             <d>
                <e>333</e>
             </d>
       </b>What I want is to get the value of element 'e', based on a check on what the value of element 'c' is. I alway know the value of element 'c'.
    I solve this by using this xpath-expression in my xsl-file:
    <xsl:variable name="xpathTest" select="//e[../preceding-sibling::c = 'bbb']" />This expression should return '222', and it works!!!
    But, when I use the another xml-file with a similar structure, with namespaces, like this:
    <body xsi:type="fkpsoap:FKPSOAPOperationResponse">
       <FKPSOAPOperationResponse>
          <fkpsoap_1:fkrdk178_output_data>
             <fkpsoap_1:fkrdk178_list_cust_information>
                <fkpsoap_1:fkrdk178_list_customerinfo>
                   <fkpsoap_1:fkrdk178_list_variable_code> aaa </fkpsoap_1:fkrdk178_list_variable_code>
                   <fkpsoap_1:fkrdk178_list_value_name>
                      <fkpsoap_1:fkrdk178_list_value_text> 111 </fkpsoap_1:fkrdk178_list_value_text>
                </fkpsoap_1:fkrdk178_list_customerinfo>
                <fkpsoap_1:fkrdk178_list_customerinfo>
                   <fkpsoap_1:fkrdk178_list_variable_code> bbb </fkpsoap_1:fkrdk178_list_variable_code>
                   <fkpsoap_1:fkrdk178_list_value_name>
                      <fkpsoap_1:fkrdk178_list_value_text> 222 </fkpsoap_1:fkrdk178_list_value_text>
                </fkpsoap_1:fkrdk178_list_customerinfo>
                <fkpsoap_1:fkrdk178_list_customerinfo>
                   <fkpsoap_1:fkrdk178_list_variable_code> ccc </fkpsoap_1:fkrdk178_list_variable_code>

          </fkpsoap_1:fkrdk178_output_data>
       </FKPSOAPOperationResponse>
    </body>Then the xpath-expression does not work!
    I can easily extract the value of the element similar to the element 'e' in my test-file, but then I will always get the value from the first occurance of 'e', which is '111'.
    Can anyone help me with this?

    Most APIs which let you create XPath objects allow you to create a namespace context and attach it to the XPath object. Your API most likely does too, whatever it is. Then you would just use the prefixes which the namespace context describes in your XPath expression.
    (This namespace context generally maps prefixes to namespace URIs. Remember that the namespace URI is really what the XPath is looking for and the prefix is just a short cut for you to use.)

  • How to evaluate dynamic XPath expression in BPEL?

    I have an xml file where I keep many settings for my BPEL process. At runtime, I read the file and I want to select values from it based on values in the process payload.
    For example, imagine that the process payload is an order:
    <order>
    <header>
    <id/>
    <customer_id/>
    <team_id/>
    </header>
    <items>
    <item>
    <id/>
    <sku/>
    <price/>
    <quantity/>
    </item>
    </items>
    </order>
    Now, in my xml settings file, I have a section where I keep a mapping of "team_id" and "assignment_group", so that for each team id, I can select the appropriate group to whom a task should be assigned. The relevant section of the settings file will look something like this:
    <assignment_groups>
    <group team_id='0923230'>invoice_approvers</group>
    <group team_id='3094303'>order_approvers</group>
    <group team_id='3434355'>shipping_approvers</group>
    </assignment_groups>
    So, imagine I get an order input to my process where the team_id is '3094303'. Now I have to lookup the correct assignment group in my settings file.
    So, I construct the dynamic XPath expression
    /settings/assignment_groups/group[@team_id=3094303]
    I know that this would evaluate to "order_approvers". However, even though I have the XPath expression in a BPEL variable, and I have my settings file as a BPEL variable also, I don't know how to execute the XPath expression against the settings BPEL variable to retrieve the correct value.
    Any ideas appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Jack

    James:
    Thank you for the response. Incidentally, this is the very same document and section that I have been looking at for guidance. Specifically, the section titled "Dynamically indexing by Constructing an XPath at Run Time" on page 12-13.
    I tried to do something similar to the example at the top of page 13:
    <variable name="iterator" type="xsd:integer"/>
    <assign>
    <copy>
    <from expression="concat('/invoice/line-item[',bpws:getVariableData('iterator'), ']/line-total')"/>
    <to variable="xpath"/>
    </copy>
    <copy>
    <from expression="bpws:getVariableData('input', 'payload',bpws:getVariableData('xpath')) + ..."/>
    </copy>
    </assign>
    I am able to achieve the first copy operation to get my dynamic XPath into a BPEL variable and that's fairly straightforward. But I am unable to get the second copy to work. Specifically, I am not sure what to put in the second argument of the bpws:getVariableData function. I have tried many different combinations, but when I try to compile my program, I get the following compilation error:
    Error:
    [Error ORABPEL-10902]: compilation failed
    [Description]: in "C:\code\TrainingWS\SampleGetSettings\bpel\SampleGetSettings.bpel", XML parsing failed because "org.collaxa.thirdparty.jaxen.expr.DefaultFunctionCallExpr".
    [Potential fix]: n/a.
    Thanks,

  • Receiver determination - Xpath expression problem with count

    I am working with a scenario where I pick up records from a JDBC connection and if the number of records I pick up is less than a certain number I want to call a webservice.  If it is greater than the number I want to write out a file to be processed by a different process on the receiving end.  I have created the receiver determination condition with the following conditions:
    (/p1:MT_HOG_Data/row[count(row) > 3] EX)
    (/p1:MT_HOG_Data/row[count(row) <= 3] EX)
    The integration is always processing the second condition no matter how many records come in.  I have tried with and without the multiline option.  Can anyone help with this?
    I have searched through the forum and checked the following links without any resolution:
    http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/XI/XpathConditioninReceiverDetermination
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/EN/ab/13bf7191e73a4fb3560e767a2525fd/frameset.htm
    /people/shabarish.vijayakumar/blog/2006/06/07/customise-your-xpath-expressions-in-receiver-determination
    I can't find any examples where a count of records is checked in the expression editor.  Thanks in advance for any help.

    You can not use the EX operator in that case, because that is used only for node existence checks, not for value checks.
    Do you have a row number in your structure ? Then you could write the xpath expression with that counter tag and value
    Example: you want to send to receiver A if count > 3, else to B:
    you set  /rowNumber EQUAL 4 for sender A
    and /rowNumber NOT EQUAL 4 for sender B
    The condition is applied to the whole document. If one of the node/values are true for that condition, then the whole condition is set to true.
    Problem with that is that the second condition also will be true because nodes for that condition will be found
    better would be to have a rowcount tag in the structure. If that is not possible, you can use the "Enhanced Receiver determination" where you can define a mapping which determines the receivers. There you can do anything complicated you want.

  • Xpath expression substring or contains

    Hi ,
    I have this inbound source message
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
    - <rfc:Z_RFC xmlns:rfc="urn:sap-com:document:sap:rfc:functions">
    - <TO_DATA>
    - <item>
      <LINE>000012E3 ABCD 3I 20070911164941</LINE>
      </item>
      </TO_DATA>
      </rfc:Z_RFC>
    and two inbound interfaces
    condition is , if "ABCD" exists in the LINE field(type string) then the corresponding Interface mapping should execute.
    I know the exact location of "ABCD occurence so I can use either contains or substring functions.
    I tried /P1:Z_RFC/TO_DATA/item[substring(LINE,X,Y)="ABCD"] EX no right operand
    /P1:Z_RFC/TO_DATA/item[substring(LINE,X,Y)]= "ABCD"  with right operand
    substring((/P1:Z_RFC/TO_DATA/item/LINE),X,Y) = "ABCD"
    similarly I tried around with <b>"contains"</b> function too.
    but not able to apply exactly, I tried with different options looking at different blogs in SDN.
    so how should be the Xpath expression ?
    thank you.
    Babu

    yes,
    I have two different interface mappings in interface determination.  
    I have same sender RFC interface(outbound) and two different target interfaces  and so why I have two different interface mapping,MMs.
    sender and reciever systems are same in both cases.
    .................condition1--interface mapping1--
    sender -
    |--                                                                |--
    Receiver
    .................condition2--interface mapping2--
    >>>two dfferent interfaces one when the condition satisfies and other when the condition doens'tmacth...
    I know why you are asking this,if we have one interface map and two target interfaces then we need to go for enhanced interface determination.
    and need not to be just "substring" or "contains" function ,just any function will do.
    so any suggestion about the above scenario in ASCII diagram?
    thank you.

  • Hi , friends pls explain abap mapping and message mapping

    1) pls explain abap mapping and message mapping
       send me screen shorts also.

    Hi
    Mapping Techniques
    XI provides 3 standard ways of interface mapping between source and target.
    Graphical mapping
    Java Mapping
    XSLT Mapping
    Two more additional mapping types can be activated in XI by making changes to the exchange profile. Those two mappings are
    ABAP mapping
    XSLT mapping with ABAP Extensions
    Graphical Mapping
    Graphical mapping is a common approach followed by everyone for generating desired target structure. It involves simple drag-n-drop to correlate respective nodes (fields) from source and target structure. It hardly involves coding. (Exception - User defined functions). But sometimes with graphical mapping it is difficult to produce required output. For example ... text/html output, namespace change, sorting or grouping of records etc.
    ABAP Mapping
    A person comfortable with Object Oriented ABAP can go for ABAP mapping instead.
    Java Mapping
    Java Mapping uses 2 types of parsers. DOM and SAX. DOM is easier to use with lots of classes to help you create nodes and elements, but , DOM is very processor intensive.
    SAX parser is something that parses your XML one after the other, and so is not processor intensive. But, it is not exaclty easy to develop either.
    XSLT Mapping
    One can also think of Java mapping as another option but it is a bit complex and required knowledge of Java. In such cases, XSLT mapping can be the best approach to meet the requirements.
    A few example cases in which an XSLT mapping can be used:-
    When the required output is other than XML like Text, Html or XHTML (html displayed as XML)
    When default namespace coming from graphical mapping is not required or is to be changed as per requirements.
    When data is to be filtered based on certain fields (considering File as source)
    When data is to be sorted based on certain field (considering File as source)
    When data is to be grouped based on certain field (considering File as source)\
    Advantages of using XSLT mapping
    XSLT program itself defines its own target structure.
    XSLT programs can be imported into SAP XI. Message mapping step can be avoided. One can directly go for interface mapping once message interfaces are created and mapping is imported.
    XSLT provides use of number of standard XPath functions that can replaces graphical mapping involving user defined java functions easily.
    File content conversion at receiver side can be avoided in case of text or html output.
    Multiple occurrences of node within tree (source XML) can be handled easily.
    XSLT can be used in combination with graphical mapping.
    Multi-mapping is also possible using xslt.
    XSLT can be used with ABAP and JAVA Extensions.
    Disadvantages of using XSLT mapping
    Resultant XML payload can not be viewed in SXMB_MONI if not in XML format (for service packs < SP14).
    Interface mapping testing does not show proper error description. So errors in XSLT programs are difficult to trace in XI but can be easily identified outside XI using browser.
    XSLT mapping requires more memory than mapping classes generated in Java.
    XSLT program become lengthier as source structure fields grows in numbers.
    XSLT program sometimes become complex to meet desired functionality.
    Some XSL functions are dependent on version of browser.
    Different types of Mappings
    MAPPING SUPPORTED BY XI
    Message Mapping -> Graphical Design and testing environment. Default Provided By XI. Queue based modelling allow handling or large documents. Extensible via user defined functions
    XSLT Mapping - > Based on openstandard, Portable across application platform, Extensible using user defined functions kewl but disadvantage is Memory overload while handling large documents.
    SAX -> Simple Api For XML. -> Allows you to parse through a XML document. Doesn't consume any memory. But the message can be parsed only once from top to bottom. It Has evolved by contributions made by group of ppl itz a open architecture.
    DOM -> Document Object Model -> Itz designed by W3C. Consumes Memory as the message will be loaded. Allows parsing of document in both way top down and bottom up.
    Send me your email id.Shall send you very good docs for both ABAP Mapping and message mapping.
    Thanks

  • 1     Unable to retrieve the form values entered by the user from the xpath expression(with or without s

    1.1 Description of the Workflow
    We have designed a Workflow, which has an init form HighLevelQuestionnaire.
    1. The user attempts to start the workflow by submitting this form, which has an XML schema embedded.
    2. When user submits the data, we set workflow variables to fetch data from the init-form and all the values entered by the user are stored in the database.
    3. Based on the values, value of Risk Level is calculated to be either High or Medium, and user is routed to one of the two routes.
    4. The user QPAC is used to show the next form to the user.
    Another form has been designed called AssessRisk in which user is asked to confirm the Risk Level.
    5. At this point, we use Script QPAC to print the values in the log.
    1.2 Problem description
    1. In the Point No. 6 of the workflow, the values are not printed in the log. A blank space is printed instead.
    2. Initially, we embedded the schema in the form. But when values were not printed, we removed the schema. Even then it didnt work.
    1.2.1 User QPAC Specifications
    Properties of user QPAC used in Step 4 of the workflow
    Mappings Tab: -
    Input Variable --- No variable
    Template URL ----- Form11.xdp
    Output Variable ---- myform
    Myform is a form-variable, which has template URL as Form11.xdp
    1.2.2 Script QPAC
    1.2.2.1 With XML Schema embedded
    import com.adobe.workflow.pat.service.*;
    System.out.println("----------- High Level Questions -----------");
    System.out.println("--1- the RiskLevel is: " + patExecContext.getProcessDataStringValue("/process_data/myform/form-data/data/xdp/dataset s/data/RiskLevel/general/Risk_Level") + " @@@@@");
    Note:- Here RiskLevel is the schema root of myform and Risk_Level is the schema variable mapped with textfield on the form
    1.2.2.2 Without XML Schema embedded
    System.out.println("--1.1- the RiskLevel is: " + patExecContext.getProcessDataStringValue("/process_data/myform/form-data/data/xdp/dataset s/data/fields/Risk_Level") + " @@@@@");
    1.2.2.3 Conclusion
    In both the cases, a blank value is printed. In both the cases, we get some output which is when we use
    System.out.println("--1.1- the RiskLevel is: " + patExecContext.getProcessDataStringValue("/process_data/myform/form-data/data/xdp/dataset s/data ") + " @@@@@");
    In this case all the values are printed with space in between.
    This is the basic feature which has to be used while developing workflows.

    Hi
    You might want to try using VariableLogger, at:
    http://www.avoka.com/avoka/qpac_library.shtml
    It's a little more reliable than the script QPAC, especially if one of your xpath expressions is wrong.
    Please note that embedding the schema makes no difference in how the data from the form is stored. What makes the difference is whether your fields are bound to specify schema elements, or whether they use the "normal" binding.

  • Using the XPATH expression function in Transformation activity

    Hi,
    I have to map the variable value(other than the source variable) to one of the node in the target variable in the transformation activity. For that I am using the XPATH expression function bpws:getVariableData ('variableName') and map it to corrsponding target node. But this mapping is not at all happening. The same prolem occurs while using function ora:getInstanceID() in transformation function. Then I could find a metalink note id: 387381.1,saying it as the bug in 10.1.2.2 BPEL PM, which they are covering in the next release. But our BPEL PM version is 10.1.3.3. But still the same type of problem occurs.
    Please let me know, is there are any solution for using the ora:getInstanceID() , bpws:getVariableData in Transformation activity.

    Hi,
    I dont understand why would you need to use the "bpws:getVariableData" function.
    When you are mapping a source-node to a target-node, it usually assigns the value in the source-node to the target-node, which is as good as using the "bpws:getVariableData" function.
    So, technically speaking you need to use this function explicitly to achieve that ...
    Also, if you want the instance-id, you can use the "ora:getInstanceId()" directly in the BPEL code than using it in the transformation.

    Madhu.

  • ABAP Dictionary structure for use in ABAP Mapping

    Hello, I'm creating an ABAP mapping class which requires me to use standard ABAP dictionary (table) structures (ex.MARA, KNA1 etc) for the mapping as the data coming into the mapping is in that format. I'm creating the ABAP class in the PI server and do not have table structures (MARA, KNA1 etc) in the dictionary in the PI server. What is the efficient way to create these structures (as Z elements) in the PI server's dictionary?
    I have the XSD of these table structures. Can I import those XSDs into the ABAP dictionary in PI servers? If yes, how can it be done? Please help!

    Yes you can import it as an external definition data and create the data type based on this XSD. Go through the link below for more information on the steps to import and how to use it.

  • Acces dynamic configuration variable (e.g. filename) in ABAP mapping class

    Hi experts
    I am searching for a possibility to acces a dynamic configuration variable (DCV) in an ABAP mapping class. Since I could not find a solution in SDN and other sources, I hope somebody in this forum can help me.
    What I already found is the following code which can be used to set a DCV, but what I would be interested in is how to read a DCV.
    Any help is appreciated.

    METHOD if_mapping~execute.
    DATA l_record type mpp_dynamic.
    * copy payload
    result = source.
    * add an adapter specific attribute
    l_record-namespace = 'http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File'.
    l_record-name = 'FileName'.
    l_record-value = 'test.xml'.
    dynamic_configuration->add_record( l_record ).
    ENDMETHOD.

  • IDOC-XI-FILE Scenario: Error in ABAP Mapping

    Dear All,
    I am working on IDOC-XI-Flat FIle scenario in which I am using ABAP Mapping as per document "How To Convert an IDoc-XML
    structure to a flat file and vice versa in XI 3.0".
    I created one customized Idoc for this. The Idoc is reacing XI but its flat file is not getting created. Its giving me following error:
    <SAP:Stack>Error in mapping program Z_ABAP_MAPPING_PACKING_LIST (type SAP-ABAP, kernel error ID UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION) An exception with the type CX_SY_REF_IS_INITIAL occurred, but was neither handled locally, nor declared in a RAISING clause Dereferencing of the NULL reference.</SAP:Stack>
      <SAP:Retry>M</SAP:Retry>
    I have also gone thru threads posted for the same topic earlier but still I am not been to resolve this error.
    Please help me out in resolving this error.
    Regards,
    N.Jain

    HI,
       Log saying that, u have problem in the mapping program.
      i.e Z_ABAP_MAPPING_PACKING_LIST
       the problem is due declaration of data.
       i hope that, you have some methods.
       those are declared under intialization section in mapping program.
      please use start of selection before the method.
    other wise, it will come under intilization section.
    warm regards
    mahesh.

  • XPath expression failed to execute.

    Hi Everybody ,
    I am working  AIA PIP 3.1 for JDE E1.I am facing some errors so that i can't proceed.
    See the log errors as below:
    javax.xml.ws.soap.SOAPFaultException: XPath expression failed to execute. An error occurs while processing the XPath expression; the expression is ora:processXSLT('xsl/Xform_BillOfMaterialsListABM_to_BillOfMaterialsListAXML.xsl',bpws:getVariableData('InitialLoadBillOfMaterialsListReqMsg','InitialLoadBillOfMaterialsList'),bpws:getVariableData('Parameters')). The XPath expression failed to execute; the reason was: oracle.fabric.common.xml.xpath.XPathFunctionException: javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: oramds:/deployed-composites/default/InitialLoadBillOfMaterialsListJDEE1toAgileImpl_rev1.0/xsl/Xform_BillOfMaterialsListABM_to_BillOfMaterialsListAXML.xsl<Line 18, Column 271>: XML-22044: (Error) Extension function error: Error invoking 'lookupXRef':'oracle.tip.xref.exception.RepositoryException: lookup could not find values in column name "AGILE_01" for table name "oramds:/apps/AIAMetaData/xref/ITEM_ITEMID.xref" using reference column name "JDEE1_01" and reference value "731882::M30" Please ensure lookup criteria has a match.'. Check the detailed root cause described in the exception message text and verify that the XPath query is correct.
    Please reply me ASAP,
    Waiting for your response.....

    Hi,
    Ya i checked the data for same table,but i didn't get any XREF related information in xref_data table.
    Did you mean that, data should already present under AIAFPINST_XREF.Probably xref is meant for storing dynamic value.
    Please check the above error and reply me soon.
    With Regards

  • Using the variable placeholder ? in an XPath expression

    I'm trying to using the variable operator (?) in an Oracle prepared statement used in a query where clause. Here is the query:
    select xt.APPLICATION_NAME, xt.VERSION, xt.EVENT_TYPE, xt.SENDING_SITE, xt.RECEIVING_SITE, xt.EVENT_ID
          from AUDITED_EVENT_XML_MIN e,
             XMLTable(XMLNAMESPACES('http://gov/va/med/datasharing/audit/endpoint/audit' AS "xae"),
                    '/xae:auditable-event'
                    PASSING e.xml_event_content
                    COLUMNS
                    APPLICATION_NAME VARCHAR2(255) PATH 'xae:application-name',
                    VERSION          VARCHAR2(255) PATH 'xae:version',
                    EVENT_TYPE       VARCHAR2(255) PATH 'xae:event-type',
                    SENDING_SITE     VARCHAR2(255) PATH 'xae:xml-event-content/*/MSH/MSH.4/HD.2',
                    RECEIVING_SITE   VARCHAR2(255) PATH 'xae:xml-event-content/*/MSH/MSH.6/HD.2',
                    EVENT_ID         VARCHAR2(255) PATH 'xae:xml-event-content/*/MSH/MSH.10') xt
                where existsNode(E.XML_EVENT_CONTENT, '/xae:auditable-event[xae:event-type=?]','xmlns:xae="http://gov/va/med/datasharing/audit/endpoint/audit"') = 1This code works when the ? is replaced with "aValue". I need to use the ? so that my Java client can pass a variable value into the query.
    Is this a supportable feature or am I doing something wrong?
    I didn't see any examples in the Oracle XML DB Developers Guide where there was a ? in an XPath expression.
    I also tried "?" with the same issue...
    Here is the version info:
