I am not sure why I am getting an exception for this expression:
Number count= document.numberValueOf("/NODE/SUBNODE/count(*)");
Exception is:

The problem is
You don't have the correct version of jaxen or one of its dependencies on the classpath.
Please update your DOM Parser beta12.

Getting Invalid XPath expression

Hi,
I am parsing a XML document and reading a node with <xtags:valueOf .. select="product_name"/>. The value of product_name is :
<product_name>SJE6 2004Q1, 1 RTU ESD, All platforms, 1 Year</product_name> , but I am getting the following exception :
org.dom4j.InvalidXPathException: Invalid XPath expression: SJE6 2004Q1, 1 RTU ESD, All platforms, 1 Year Unexpected '2004'
at org.dom4j.xpath.DefaultXPath.parse(DefaultXPath.java:316)

at org.apache.taglibs.xtags.xpath.VariableTag.setSelect(VariableTag.java:143)
I tried with <xtags:copyOf select=.../node() and text()/> but still getting the same exception. Not sure why its failing on 2004? Help!
Thanks,
-Ashish

The problem was not in the <xtags:valueOf> but in the following expression :
<xtags:variable id="lName" select="<%= product_name %>"/>
where I wasassigning the value of <product_name> to a String (java) variable defined. But this will be another question : why is <xtags:variable> failing?

Okay, I have removed the "ApprovalStatus" and replaced with the xmlns. Also, based on the description of child:node(), I think, then it is required.
Now I am getting following error

Invalid Xpath Expression

Hi ,
I have an XML content as below and i am sending that as a string input to other interface . Here i have hard coded Teller ID and account ID , but i want to send the input from payload like this : ><Teller><ID>bpws:getVariableData('TellerId')</ID></Teller> .
But it is giving error as "Invalid xpath expression" . How can the below xml be sent with the teller id and account no. accepting inputs from payload?
ora:getContentAsString('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><Summit xmlns="http://summit.fiserv.com" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://summit.fiserv.com /cfg/CommandSchema/sisCommands.xsd"><Spectrum><CommandRq><RequestHeader><Teller><ID>T1P1</ID></Teller><Override>0</Override></RequestHeader><RQMS_RQSTRq><Account>123123</Account><Options>M</Options></RQMS_RQSTRq></CommandRq></Spectrum></Summit>')

The other interface accepts only strings . If i do it using xml fragment , it is embedding white spaces and is not acceptable by the other interface.

ORA-31013: Invalid XPATH expression

Hi,
I am getting this error when i am trying to execute a sp which will do xml parsing.
What all i did is i have Oracle database with 9.2.0.1.0 version. The i hav ugraded the database to 9.2.0.6.0 using the Oracle patch. After upgrading the Oracle db to 9.2.0.6.0 i got the below error:
ORA-00600: internal error code,
Then i ran the catpatch.sql to get rid off this error. After running the catpatch.sql the above error gone but i got another error
ORA-31013: Invalid XPATH expression.
What does this mean. The sp is working fine before upgrading the Oracle db to 9.2.0.6.0. Is the patch upgrade corrupted any of the XML libraries or the 9.2.0.6.0 doesn't support the xml parsing or do i need to apply any patch for this.
Please suggest me ASAP since this error has been raised at cusotmer and i am in very much need of this.
The statement which i am using for parsing the xml file is
x.xml_data.extract('/x:recording/@x:ref').getStringVal() from xml_process;
where xml_process is a table of xml_type.
Thanks
Rao

Can not construct xml from relative xpath expression: //FormVar

In version 7.0, it was possible to access Form Variables with the (valid) XPath Expression "//FormVariable".
In 7.2.2, using this XPath Expression leads to a stalled action, with message: "can not construct xml from relative xpath expression: //FormVar". (see full stack trace below)
What's wrong? How can I fix this?
Use of relative expression is very very useful during the development phase!

Sorry, i just read my own message in the discussion forum and
discovered all spaces for formating the XML tags where gone.
It should look like this:
[-----xml_type---]
<doc>
__<role>
____actor
____<first>
______john
____</first>
____<last>
______bond
____</last>
__</role>
__<role>
____actor
____<first>
______james
______</first>
____<last>
______smith
____</last>
__</role>
</doc>
semantic:
There are two actors: "john bond" and "james smith"
Querying for "john bond" succeedes which is correct
Querying for "james smith" succeedes which is correct
Querying for "james bond" fails which is correct
Querying for "john smith" succeedes which is an ERROR!
contains(xdata, 'actor INPATH(//role[./first = "john" and ./last
= "smith"])' (= 100 ---> ERROR!)
bye,

ORABPEL-09503 Invalid xpath expression in a CASE expression

Hi I have the following case statement in my BPEL process -

When I run my process in 10.1.2, it works fine, but when I run it in 10.1.3.1, it errors out with the following error -

Do you think there was a bug in the expression that has surfaced due to some additional validations in 10.1.3.1 or am I missing something here?
Thanks a lot for your help.
Thanks.
RV

AND upper-case(string(bpws:getVariableData('g_InvokeAuthenticateTicketOutput','OutputParameters','/ns13:OutputParameters/X_TKT_VALID')bpws:getVariableData('isAuthenticCaller'))) = 'T'"
what is this bold part about? this looks wrong to me..

Concat Operation failing.[Error ORABPEL-10039]: invalid xpath expression

Hi ,
I am trying to concat two values which are as mentioned below
concat(bpws:getVariableData('paramsVar','/ns7:parameters/ns7:item[ns7:name='ContractNumber']/ns7:value'),bpws:getVariableData('AccumilateEmail','/ns1:AccumilatePLAContracts/ns1:AccumilatePLAType[$PLACount]/ns1:ContractInfoType[$ContractInfoTypeCount]/ns1:ContractNumber'))
to /ns7:parameters/ns7:item[ns7:name='ContractNumber']/ns7:value (which is same as first parameter of concat operation)
the error is [Error ORABPEL-10039]: invalid xpath expression

I also tried converting both the variables of concat to string and then giving to concat operation. please let me know what could be the possible way to do this

Hi,
try storing the values of the below into a separate variables var1,var2 and then use concat(bpws:getVariableData('var1'),bpws:getVariableData(var2))....also try using the predicate[] without
bpws:getVariableData for the below variables...for this in the assign activity create copy operation window....u see the xpath text box and u can mention the predicate values there...some
thing like */ns7:parameters/ns7:item[ns7:name='ContractNumber']/ns7:value* , *ns1:AccumilatePLAContracts/ns1:AccumilatePLAType[$PLACount]/ns1:ContractInfoType
[$ContractInfoTypeCount]/ns1:ContractNumber* instead of the below values
bpws:getVariableData('paramsVar','/ns7:parameters/ns7:item[ns7:name='ContractNumber']/ns7:value')
bpws:getVariableData('AccumilateEmail','/ns1:AccumilatePLAContracts/ns1:AccumilatePLAType[$PLACount]/ns1:ContractInfoType[$ContractInfoTypeCount]/ns1:ContractNumber')

Java XML Parser v2 xpath problem

I have a lot of trouble using the xpath functionality. I want to get the name of different elements. I'm using some xpath expressions which in my opinion should work (see http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath ), but they don't. I'm calling XMLNode.selectSingleNode.
For example :
/*/name()
name(/*[1])
name(/*)
name()
I've tried those with Saxon and they do work. Using the Oracle implementation an exception is thrown on most expressions. So what's wrong here?
Bye,
Jan

Consider this example
--- Test.java -----
import java.io.*;
import javax.xml.transform.sax.SAXSource;
import net.sf.saxon.sxpath.*;
import oracle.xml.parser.v2.*;
import org.w3c.dom.*;
import org.xml.sax.InputSource;
public class Test
public Test() {
try {
DOMParser domParser = new DOMParser();
domParser.parse(new FileReader("test.xml"));
XMLDocument document = domParser.getDocument();
InputSource is = new InputSource(new File("test.xml").toURL().toString());
SAXSource source = new SAXSource(is);
testXPathOracle(document,"count(//*)");
testXPathOracle(document,"name(/*)");
testXPathOracle(document,"name(/root)");
testXPathOracle(document,"/*/name()");
testXPathSaxon(source,"count(//*)");
testXPathSaxon(source,"name(/*)");
testXPathSaxon(source,"name(/root)");
testXPathSaxon(source,"/*/name()");
} catch(Exception e) {
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
public void testXPathOracle(XMLNode context, String xpath) {
try {
Node node = context.selectSingleNode(xpath);
System.out.println(node.getNodeValue());
} catch(Exception e) {
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
public void testXPathSaxon(SAXSource source, String xpath) {
try {
XPathEvaluator xpe = new XPathEvaluator();
XPathExpression exp = xpe.createExpression(xpath);
Object object = exp.evaluateSingle(source);
System.out.println(object);
} catch(Exception e) {
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
public static void main(String[] args) {
Test test = new Test();
--- test.xml -----
<root>
<element/>
</root>
Result is on my computer:
Unknown expression at EOF: (count(//*))[1].
Unknown expression at EOF: (name(/*))[1].
Unknown expression at EOF: (name(/root))[1].
Error in expression: '(/*/name())[1]'.
2
root
root
root
I think the xpath expressions are valid. So what's wrong?

Parsing XPath Expressions

Is there a Java API that parses XPath expressions and produces the resultant XPath tree in memory?
For example the xpath expression: /a/b[c/d]/e/f
will produce a tree with "a" as the root node, "b" as a sub-node, "c" and "e" as subnodes of "b" and so on.
I don't want one that is to be evaluate against and XML document. I just want the XPath Expression tree to be build in memory.
Thanks

hi,
look at javacc, a compiler very popular, with many examples.

Using xpath expressions in Document-Builder

Hi all
we have re-designed our (existing) DDX-templates with the Document Builder in LC Workbench. The DDX templates are used to assemble PDFs with LC Assembler-Service.
Now my question: Is it still possible to use XPath-expression in the DDX template? Please find our example below:
The XPath expression works only if we copy&paste the DDX source code directly to the Assembler-Service property view (picture below). But referring the DDX-template doens't interpret the xpath path at run time (2nd picture below). Any help on that will be appreciated!
Works (using DDX source code directly):
Doesn't work (using DDX template):

Hi,

I tried to get a portion of an XML by using XPath Expressions as follows:
String xPathExpression =
"declare namespace xq='http://inti.notariado.org/indices' " +
"$this/xq:RULES/xq:RULE[@disabled]";
I think any XPath expressions which use [] are not supported in stand alone
version, but as this is not documented I could be wrong.

XPath expressions in XmlCursor / XmlObjects

Hi all,
I tried to get a portion of an XML by using XPath Expressions as follows:
String xPathExpression =
"declare namespace xq='http://inti.notariado.org/indices' " +
"$this/xq:RULES/xq:RULE[@disabled]";
A simple example of an xml
<rules>
<rule disabled="true">hello</rule>
<rule>hello</rule>
</rules>
It should return one node, but actually it returns nothing. If I use another one:
String xPathExpression =
"declare namespace xq='http://inti.notariado.org/indices' " +
"$this/xq:RULES/xq:RULE";
Then I get two nodes (which is correct). It seems to me a bug or a partial support
for XPath expressions. Or maybe I am using a bad syntax, anyone can help?
Thanks in advance !

Create xml document by xpath in java

as i know, i can navigate existing xml document by xpath in java, i wonder if i can create a xml document framework by xpath in java?
something like:
Document doc = someobject.create(xpath expression);
then i can use DOM to fill the framework?
Thanks
