Absolute path of a selected xml snippet

[David Lee]

Since you posted to xquery-talk I think we all assumed you were using XQuery not native java.

If your not already using XQuery in your app, I might suggest you implement this in pure java, its not that difficult.
But how to do it will depend on what XML API your currently using.

But if you plan on using XQuery, the first choice is to pick a Java XQuery implementation (before picking the API).
The API interface (XQJ) doesn't actually provide an implementation.

My personal favorite for embedded xquery in java is Saxon,  www.saxonica.com
And if your using Saxon I'd suggest its S9API over XQJ

Thanks to all! 
I'm using JAVA.
The best approach is use XQuery API for Java (XQJ)?


Thanks!

    Hi Ricardo,

    You can use the functx library that contains such functions:
    http://www.xqueryfunctions.com/xq/functx_path-to-node.html.
    Functx is very easy to deploy in your XQuery app since it is not bound
    to a specific XQuery engine or library.

    Best regards,

    William

      Hi to all,
      I have the following XML document in a text box:

      <A>
      <B> 1 </ B>
      <B> 2 </ B>
      </ A>

      By selecting "<B> 1 </ B>"

      I want to get your absolute path XPath, ie, "/A/B [1]"
      You can do this using XQuery?
      What do you advise?
      Best regards!
