Can I get children of current node by xpath

[dbd]

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

Can it be done in this way?

[KeithBerard]

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

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::*")
