defaultNS - the uri for the default element NS, if any

Method Detail

selectNodes

public java.util.List selectNodes(java.lang.Object node)

Select all nodes that are selectable by this XPath expression. If multiple nodes match, multiple nodes will be returned.

NOTE: In most cases, nodes will be returned in document-order, as defined by the XML Canonicalization specification. The exception occurs when using XPath expressions involving the union operator (denoted with the pipe '|' character).

NOTE: Param node must be a DOM node which will be used during the xpath execution and iteration through the results. A call of node.dispose() must be done after reading all results.

Parameters:

node - The node, nodeset or Context object for evaluation. This value can be null.

Returns:

The List of all items selected by this XPath expression.

selectPath

public java.util.List selectPath(java.lang.Object node)
