The testxpath tool enables you to try xpath expressions against a standard document. The xpath expression will be evaluated against the provided document and the result returned.

For more information on using the testxpath command, see the iWay Service Manager Command Reference Guide.

To use this command, type:

Tool testxpath <sampledocument>

Assume the standard document is the same as that shown in testfuncs.

Enter command:>tool testxpath \smalldoc.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<a>
   <top>
      <b>one</b>
      <b>two</b>
      <x>sreg(iwayhome)</x>
   </top>
</a>

Now enter an xpath expression against the sample document.

xpath->/a/top/b[1]
<superRoot [baseNode]>
   <a [baseNode]/>
   <top [baseNode]/>
   <b [baseNode]>
      <functionPredicate [filterInt]>1</functionPredicate>
   </b>
</superRoot>
values->'one'
tree-><?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<xpathresult>
   <b>one</b>
</xpathresult>
list-><b>one [parent=top]
xpath->
