The parser is Stax. But the XPath implementation is custom. Certain XPath features are hard to implement in streaming way There is not documentation yet. You can access attributes like /root/a/b/@a attribute values can be checked like /root/a/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/x or /root/a/[EMAIL PROTECTED]@m='n']/x
A lot of what you achieve with advanced XPath can be achieved with a custom Transformer. If I can get a usecase if would be helpful All the supported things have testcases http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/lucene/solr/trunk/contrib/dataimporthandler/src/test/java/org/apache/solr/handler/dataimport/TestXPathRecordReader.java?revision=681182&view=markup On Sun, Nov 2, 2008 at 1:01 AM, Lance Norskog <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The wiki page for the DIH handler mentions that the XML is parsed with a > streaming parser and that the xpath parser only handles a subset of the > xpath syntax.
