Xpath in BPEL: How to find the "count" of multiple nodes
Hi Guys
I am having a problem(syntax error) in XPath Expression creation.
Using the Batch processing in BPEL I am trying to find out the number of occurences of an XML element (node).
I have done this successfully previously using:
count(bpws:getVariableData('Receive_Read_InputVariable','ProductDataeXchangePackage','/ns5:ProductDataeXchangePackage/ns5:Items/ns5:Item'))
But when i am using the following:
count(bpws:getVariableData('inputVariable','payload','/ns1:ProductDataeXchangePackage/ns1:Items/ns1:Item[bpws:getVariableData('CurrentItem')]/ns1:BillOfMaterial/ns1:BillOfMaterialItem'))
Here there are multiple occurences of the "Item" tag within which the BillOfMaterial/*BillOfMaterialItem* occurs.
'CurrentItem' is a integer type variable.
It is throwing an Error saying Expected ) --which obviously doesnt solves the problem.
The best part is when i am hard coding a numerical value like:
count(bpws:getVariableData('inputVariable','payload','/ns1:ProductDataeXchangePackage/ns1:Items/ns1:Item[2]/ns1:BillOfMaterial/ns1:BillOfMaterialItem'))
it is Working perfectly fine--showing the number of "BillOfMaterialItem" occurences under the 2nd (or nth for that matter, where n is the numerical) "Item" node.
Please help
--thanks
