RE: XPathEvaluator in SAXON?

2003-03-03 17:17:27
Thank you for you response.
I was reading the API/Sample app for XPathEvaluator in Saxon 
7.4 and I 
found the evaluate() method will return a List of NodeInfo.
If I want to find out the node(s) using the xpath and then be able to 
upload the value in the .xml document, can I do that through 
NodeInfo? 

I'm afraid I don't know what you mean by "uploading the value in the
.xml document". If you want to get access to the string-value of the
node selected by the XPath expression, you can do this using the method
getStringValue() on the NodeInfo object.

If not, is there a way that I can construct a DOM Node object 
based on the NodeInfo?

Saxon comes with three tree implementations: the standard tree, the tiny
tree, and the JDOM tree. In the first two, the implementation of
NodeInfo also implements the DOM Node interface, so you can cast the
NodeInfo to a Node.
