Hi

Can some one help me on how to access the Map elements using Xpath. For example say i have the following XML(generated using XStream from java class),

<Request>
<id>AAA-001</id>
<testMap>
<entry>
<string>One</string>
<string>1</string>
</entry>
</testMap>
</Request>

if i want to access the value of the Map element 'One' what will be the xpath expression ?

does xpath supports Map?

Thanks in advance

Sam

 
"/Request/testMap/entry/string[1]"

Or...

"//entry/string[1]"

Or, if there is only 2 instances of string (as in the example)

"//string[1]"
