getNodes() method

[jesusemelendezm]

Can anyone confirm if this method still can be used in Helsinkin?

I have tried exact same samples in a script include and BR not returning any value.

xmldoc.getNodes

Hi Jesus,

Show be supported. You can find the same doc under Istanbul release. Normally, SN does not remove features, might stop support, but rarely removes features.

were you able to test it in background scripts?

It doesn't work for me.

Yes, it worked for me, with small modifications:

var xmlString = "<test>" +

                              "   <one>" +

                              "       <two att=\"xxx\">abcd1234</two>" +

                              "       <three boo=\"yah\" att=\"yyy\">1234abcd</three>" +

                              "       <two>another</two>" +

                              "   </one>" +

                              "   <number>1234</number>" +

                              "</test>";

var xmldoc = new XMLDocument(xmlString);

var nodelist = xmldoc.getNodes("//one/*"); // two, three, and two

gs.log(nodelist.getLength());

gs.log(nodelist.item(0).getNodeName());

gs.log(nodelist.item(1).getNodeName());

For some reasons this particular line var nodelist = xmldoc.getNodes("//name/*") won't run on my code and I am suspecting it could be one of the following reasons

1) I am using client callable script include

2) It is scoped application

3) my xmlDoc is an instance of XMLDocument2(); instead of XMLDocument() as you have it there.
