Rohit,

In addition to the above friends reply, see for example my structure looks like below

<Root>

-

---

<Sub-Root>

-

---

<Sub-Root1>

-

---

<Sub-Root2>

-

---

<Sub-Root3>

-

---

<Sub-Root4>

-

---

<Sub-Root5>

-

---

<Sub-Root6>

-

---

<Element1>

-

---

<b><Element2></b> <b>Element2Context</b>

-

---

<Element3>

If you see the above structure, while defining XPATH expression u have the expression as all the nodes. In oder to avoid that we can define context object at particular node and can refer in XPATH.

Hope it helps!!!

Best regards,

Rohit,

In standard Web standard for navigating in XML documents we use xpath. So in XI for navigating into a path we use this.

Check this help for more understanding on this:

In XI we can use XPath in many ways. See this weblogs for some examples:
