[jdom-interest] variable evaluation in XPATH expression

[Alastair Rodgers]

Oops! Formatting got a bit screwed up there. Here it is again:

XPath xpath = new JDOMXPath("/*/*/subcategory[@mappedname=$map]");
SimpleVariableContext vars = new SimpleVariableContext(); 
vars.setVariableValue(null, "map", "europe"); 
xpath.setVariableContext(vars); 
Element result = (Element)xpath.selectSingleNode(doc);
