The javadocs state that XPath.selectSingleNode can return node types
only (Element ,Attribute ,Text ,CDATA ,Comment or ProcessingInstruction)
However the code below return a Boolean.
String expression = "descendant-or-self::text() != ''"
XPath xpath = XPath.newInstance( expression );
Object match = xpath.selectSingleNode( element );
I guess this is a bug or am I missing something obvious?
Ironically, this behavior is just what I want!
