Accessing XML nodes using XPath -
<attributes> <attribute name="mail zone" property="alerts.p45" type=""> <value>mailzone</value> </attribute> <attribute name="employee name" property="acm_alert_custom_attributes.cs11" type=""> <value>employeename</value> </attribute> <attribute name="manager name" property="alerts.p23" type=""> <value><managername></value> </attribute> how can select node <value> based on attribute "name" of above xml using xpath?
let's wanted select value element child of attribute name "employee name".
the xpath expression following:
/attributes/attribute[@name="employee name"]/value in xsl can use this:
<xsl:value-of select="/attributes/attribute[@name='employee name']/value"/> it's built following way. first want select value attribute, parent attribute element, parent root (i'm assuming) attributes. / operator indicates parent-child relationship between elements. expression select all value elements following:
/attributes/attribute/value with base, want filter result other attribute. in case, want filter name attribute of attribute element (your choice of names might make things hard follow). filtering done [] clauses on elements want filter by. in case that's attribute element:
/attributes/attribute[]/value now need put in filter. @ symbol indicates attributes of element you're filtering by, followed name of attribute want. compare attribute known value, arrive @ above expression:
/attributes/attribute[@name='filter']/value
