Can I get children of current node by xpath

I'm trying to get children of current node by using xpath in APP source edit mode!

Can it be done in this way?

    APP source edit mode = APP Javascript FOM

    The way to access the current node during formatting is: formatting.currentXMLNode

    Once you have an XML Node object you can run XPath against it: myNode.evaluateXPath("something")

    To access child elements in XPath: child::*

    So putting it all together: formatting.currentXMLNode.evaluateXPath("child::*")

    I'm not sure what APP source edit mode is, but there is an acl function:  oid_xpath_nodeset_str(srcOid, xpath)

    I use this in conjunction with a helper acl method to make calls from java.

    See the archive at:  aclxpathhelperfunction - www2
