I am using javax.xml.xpath.*; to navigate a xml file and retrieve elements. But now I need to get the full path based on the name of an element. Given the below file the element <price> has the path:
/inventory/book/price
Is there someway to use javax.xml.xpath to return this full path when only specifying the argument 'price' ?
<inventory>
