JAVA XML DOM4J: Invalid XPath expression

[Former Member]

Hi everybody,

I am not sure why I am getting an exception for this expression:

Number count= document.numberValueOf("/NODE/SUBNODE/count(*)");

Exception is:

org.dom4j.InvalidXPathException: Invalid XPath expression:

Thanks regards

Mario

Hi Franz,

a 10-Pointer!

But the other way should also work according to W3C

It worked in XMLSPY!

Thanks, Regards Mario
