[jdom-interest] How to optimize xpath in jdom

[Anshul Saxena]

Hi Deepa,
Perhaps you can use this:

import org.jdom.xpath.XPath
XPath xp = XPath.newInstance("/Root/Parent/Child[name=\"abc\"]/GrandChild");
xp.selectSingleNode(); or xp.valueOf();

Depends on what you want as output.

Note : you will have to include : jaxen-jdom.jar , saxpath.jar &
jaxen-core.jar in addition to jdom.jar which you may have already added
