I am having some XPath trouble and I can't seem to find good answers after searching the internet, so I am hoping that someone here has a good idea. I have a document that looks like:
<Test>
<Railroad>
<Name>B&O</Name>
</Railroad>
<Railroad>
<Name>Reading</Name>
</Railroad>
<Test>
My UI wants to find B&O railraod. Naively I did the following XPath:
/Test/Railroad[Name='B&O']
But this didn't work agains my XML database (NeoCore XMS). I then changed the XPath to
/Test/Railroad[Name='B&O']
and it worked. This leads to two questions:
1) Do the specs say I have to expand entity references in my XPath query?
2) Is there any way I can use JDOM or JDOM XPath to do the expansion for me, kind of in the spirit that Element.setText() and XMLOutputter expand them for me?
Thanks in advance,
Steve
