XML messages : XML data field access syntax
 

XML data field access syntax

XPath allows the use of concise query notation for relatively complex conditions. But it is too verbose for simple property access. In order to achieve simple access to the simple field without losing generality, BPM Events supports two types of notations. One is a dot notation, the other is using bracket notation. The field of XML value can be accessed as if it has field property.
* Dot notation for XML data fields
* Bracket notation for XML data fields
* Function notation for XML data fields
