public class XPathQuery
extends Activity

This activity queries a resource/collection exposed by an XMLDB data service resource using an XPath expression.

It has no input and one output - the query result in XML. The format of the output is OGSA-DAI specific XML. For example:




xmlns:src="http://xml.apache.org/xindice/Query"
src:col="someCollection" src:key="someKey">

Throws:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - If prefix or url are null or url is not a legal URL.

setNamespaceBindings

public void setNamespaceBindings(java.util.Map?bindings)
Add a collection of bindings from namespace prefixes used within the XPath query to namespace URLs.

Parameters:
bindings - A collection of mappings from prefix strings to URL strings.
Throws:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - If bindings is null or contains entries whose prefix or URL are null or whose URLs are not legal.
See Also:
If prefix or url are null or url is not a legal URL.
