24 | /** |
25 | * This class adds an entrypoint into XPath functionality, |
26 | * for Anakia. |
27 | * <p> |
28 | * All methods take a string XPath specification, along with |
29 | * a context, and produces a resulting java.util.List. |
30 | * <p> |
31 | * The W3C XPath Specification (http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath) refers |
32 | * to NodeSets repeatedly, but this implementation simply uses |
33 | * java.util.List to hold all Nodes. A 'Node' is any object in |
34 | * a JDOM object tree, such as an org.jdom.Element, org.jdom.Document, |
35 | * or org.jdom.Attribute. |
36 | * <p> |
37 | * To use it in Velocity, do this: |
38 | * <p> |
39 | * <pre> |
40 | * #set $authors = $xpath.applyTo("document/author", $root) |
41 | * #foreach ($author in $authors) |
42 | * $author.getValue() |
43 | * #end |
44 | * #set $chapterTitles = $xpath.applyTo("document/chapter/@title", $root) |
45 | * #foreach ($title in $chapterTitles) |
46 | * $title.getValue() |
47 | * #end |
48 | * </pre> |
49 | * <p> |
50 | * In newer Anakia builds, this class is obsoleted in favor of calling |
51 | * <code>selectNodes()</code> on the element directly: |
52 | * <pre> |
53 | * #set $authors = $root.selectNodes("document/author") |
54 | * #foreach ($author in $authors) |
55 | * $author.getValue() |
56 | * #end |
57 | * #set $chapterTitles = $root.selectNodes("document/chapter/@title") |
58 | * #foreach ($title in $chapterTitles) |
59 | * $title.getValue() |
60 | * #end |
61 | * </pre> |
