java.lang.Object

org.alfresco.repo.content.selector.XPathContentWorkerSelector

All Implemented Interfaces:

ContentWorkerSelector

public class XPathContentWorkerSelector
extends java.lang.Object
implements ContentWorkerSelector

A selector that executes a set of XPath statements against the XML document to determine which content worker to provide. The XPath rules are simple, i.e. if an XML node is found by the XPath statement, then it is considered to be a hit and the corresponding worker is returned.

Currently, the only namespaces supported are those contained in the XML documents being tested.
