All great answers! But the question deserves refinement ...
I've got the following sample XML ...
<objects>
<object objectId="1123" ... />
<properties refObjectId="1123" ... />
<properties refObjectId="1123" refPropertyId="2311" ... />
<properties refObjectId="1123" refPropertyId="4611" ... />
<object objectId="2123" ... />
<properties refObjectId="2123" refPropertyId="4311" ... />
<properties refObjectId="2123" refPropertyId="8611" ... />
....
</objects>
... and the following XPath query ...
//object[//properties[#refObjectId=#objectId and not(#refPropertyId)]]
I thought this query would return all object nodes where there is a properties node that has a refObjectId attribute that equals the objectId attribute of the object node and no 'refPropertyId' attribute ... namely object 1123 only, not object 2123 ... but it doesn't. It seems the #objectId in the nested predicate does not refer to the objectId attribute of the object node.
Any ideas? I know the XML structure isn't nested as you would expect, but there are reasons for this structure.
Generally you should avoid using // where you can. I'd consider rephrasing:
//object[../properties/#refObjectId=#objectId]
In the expression provided, your nested predicate is actually checking for
//properties/#refObjectId=//properties/#objectId
of which there are none.
I hope this helps!
EDIT: Since the question has been updated here is an updated response:
You added "It seems the #objectId in the nested predicate does not refer to the objectId attribute of the object node." You're absolutely right! So let's fix it!!
//object[../properties[not(#refPropertyId)]/#refObjectId=#objectId]
This should be closer to what you're after!
Try this:
//objects[object/#objectId = properties/#refObjectId]/object
This should work:
//objects/object[#objectId = ../properties/#refObjectId]
I am not sure how your xml is. However, if it is in the following format:
<objects>
<object objectId="1111" />
<properties refObjectId="1111" />
<object objectId="2111" />
<properties refObjectId="3111" />
<object objectId="4111" />
<properties refObjectId="5111" />
<object objectId="6111" />
<properties refObjectId="4111" />
<object objectId="7111" />
<properties refObjectId="7111" />
</objects>
Then you should use the following xpath to get only objects 1111 and 7111. The result should not include 4111 because the properties where refObjectId = 4111 does not immediately follow the object whose objectId=4111.
//objects/properties[#refObjectId = preceding::object[1]/#objectId]/preceding::object[1]
Assuming that all <properties> nodes that belong to a given <object> actually follow that object (your input seems to imply that), you could do:
/objects/properties[
#refObjectId = preceding-sibling::object[1]/#objectId
and
not(#refPropertyId)
]/preceding-sibling::object[1]
This should perform pretty well.
If you happen to be in XSLT, things get a lot simpler:
<xsl:key name="kPropertiesByObjectId" match="properties" use="#refObjectId" />
and
<xsl:template match="object">
<!-- This tests for an empty node-set. Non-empty node sets can only happen
for objects with at least one <properties> node without #refPropertyId -->
<xsl:if test="key('kPropertiesByObjectId', #objectId)[not(#refPropertyId)]">
<xsl:copy-of select="." />
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
In the XSLT case, the order of object and proerties nodes becomes irrelevant.

I have a XML like the example below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<testsuite errors="0" failures="0" name="test" tests="1" time="2.747">
<properties>
<property name="categories" value="ExampleCategory" />
<property name="timestamp" value="1519664414463" />
</properties>
<testcase classname="com.example.junit.Test" name="test" time="2.747" />
</testsuite>
Is there a way to retrieve the property tag value according to the name of the property?
Right now, I'm using something like that:
#doc.xpath('//testsuite//properties//property/#value').text
This will give me "ExampleCategory1519664414463".
I know if I use .first or [0], [1], etc, I can get the values separately, but I couldn't find a way to get the values separately according to the "name" attribute.
Anyone know how can I retrieve that?
This XPath,
//property[#name='timestamp']/#value
will select all value attributes of property elements with a name attribute value equal to 'timestamp'.
Does a FHIR extension always have to be defined in its own StructureDefinition before it can be used in a resource profile?
Or can its definition exist solely within the StructureDefinition of a profiled resource?
E.g.
<StructureDefinition xmlns="http://hl7.org/fhir">
<base value="http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/Order" />
<name value="Order" />
...
<differential>
<element>
<path value="Order.extension" />
<name value="type" />
<label value="Type" />
<short value="BookAppointment | TelephonePatient | PatientNote | Note | Other" />
<definition value="Order type" />
<min value="1" />
<max value="1" />
<type>
<code value="code" />
</type>
<binding>
<strength value="required" />
<valueSetReference>
<reference value="http://test.org/fhir/ValueSet/task-type" />
</valueSetReference>
</binding>
</element>
...
Is the above valid?
No, that's not valid - because Order.extension can't have a type of "code". You could, in theory, slice extension and constrain the value[x] type to be valueCode with the specified properties. You'd also have to constrain the URL to a specified fixed value. The tricky part is that the URL you indicate as the fixed value is supposed to resolve to a StructureDefinition that defines the extension. So you really won't have saved yourself any work. Sending an instance where any immediate receiver can't discover the extension definition would make you automatically non-conformant.
So I have one RelaxNG schema that references another:
<define name="review">
<element name="review">
<externalRef href="other.rng"/>
</element>
</define>
other.rng:
<start>
<choice>
<ref name="good"/>
<ref name="bad"/>
</choice>
</start>
<define name="good">
<element name="good"/>
</define>
<define name="bad">
<element name="bad"/>
</define>
Is there any way I can import only <good>, but not allow <bad>? The goal being:
<review><good/></review>: valid
<review><bad/></review>: invalid
The grammar you import with externalRef can't be modified. To achieve the kind of validation you're after, I see this method :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<grammar xmlns="http://relaxng.org/ns/structure/1.0"
datatypeLibrary="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-datatypes">
<include href="other.rng">
<start combine="choice">
<ref name="review"/>
</start>
</include>
<define name="review">
<element name="review">
<ref name="good"/>
</element>
</define>
</grammar>
You include the other schema.
You override the start element in the include (good and bad elements won't be possible root).
The specification says :
If the include element has a start component, then all start
components are removed from the grammar element.
You make a reference to the good element in your review definition.
I've got a custom section in my web.config file similar to this structure:
<Messages>
<Message id="1'>
<Property Name="foo" value="bar" />
</Message>
<Message id="2'>
<Property Name="foo" value="bar2" />
</Message>
</Messages>
I want to apply a custom transformation on this such that I can change the value of ALL instances of the Property element with Name="foo" - but I cant seem to get it to work.
I've tried:
<Messages>
<Message>
<Property Name="foo" value="updated" xdt:Locator=Match(Name) xdt:Transform="Replace" />
</Message>
</Mesasges>
I can remove all the elements by replacing the Transform=Replace with a Transform=RemoveAll - any ideas how I can achieve something similar to replace all the values?
It seems like Transform:Replace only replaces the first matched element from the documentation on msdn: ...If more than one element is selected, only the first selected element is replaced. I solved this issue by using a combination of Match-Conditions and SetAttributes, something like:
<Messages>
<Message>
<Property value="updated" xdt:Locator=Condition(#Name='foo') xdt:Transform="SetAttributes(value)" />
</Message>
</Messages>
I'm trying to run Apache Synapse samples on ubuntu 11.04 64-bit and I have found problem with evaluating XPath expression in sample nr 2.
My XPath expression:
$ <definitions xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse http://synapse.apache.org/ns/2010/04/configuration/synapse_config.xsd">
<sequence name="main">
<switch source="//m0:getQuote/m0:request/m0:symbol" xmlns:m0="http://services.samples">
<case regex="IBM">
<!-- the property mediator sets a local property on the *current* message -->
<property name="symbol" value="Great stock - IBM"/>
</case>
<case regex="MSFT">
<property name="symbol" value="Are you sure? - MSFT"/>
</case>
<default>
<!-- it is possible to assign the result of an XPath expression as well -->
<property name="symbol" expression="fn:concat('Normal Stock - ', //m0:getQuote/m0:request/m0:symbol)"/>
</default>
</switch>
<log level="custom">
<!-- the get-property() XPath extension function allows the lookup of local message properties
as well as properties from the Axis2 or Transport contexts (i.e. transport headers) -->
<property name="symbol" expression="get-property('symbol')"/>
<!-- the get-property() function supports the implicit message headers To/From/Action/FaultTo/ReplyTo -->
<property name="epr" expression="get-property('To')"/>
</log>
<!-- Send the messages where they are destined to (i.e. the 'To' EPR of the message) -->
<send/>
</sequence>
It is run on following data:
$ <soapenv:Body><m0:getQuote xmlns:m0="http://services.samples"><m0:request><m0:symbol>IBM</m0:symbol></m0:request></m0:getQuote></soapenv:Body></soapenv:Envelope>
And result is:
2011-08-08 15:37:04,227 [-] [HttpClientWorker-1] DEBUG SwitchMediator XPath : //m0:getQuote/m0:request/m0:symbol evaluates to :
2011-08-08 15:37:04,227 [-] [HttpClientWorker-1] DEBUG SwitchMediator None of the switch cases matched - executing default
while it should go to:
$<case regex="IBM">
<!-- the property mediator sets a local property on the *current* message -->
<property name="symbol" value="Great stock - IBM"/>
</case>
Does anyone knows what can be the problem? I have installed that ubuntu few days ago, so there is possibility, that there is something missing on that system.
Try with full xpath..
<switch xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:m0="http://services.samples" source="//soapenv:Envelope/soapenv:Body/m0:getQuote/m0:request/m0:symbol">
