Talk:XPATH Examples

From CoolSolutionsWiki

I think the examples need to be split into xpath expressions that do selecting and those that do evaluating.

From Geoff's article:

One issue that I find stalls many first timers as they encounter XPATH is the difference between selecting and evaluating.

XPATH is used in two very different contexts within an Identity Manager solution.

The most common use is to select a node in an XML document. The second usage is to call some function or do something with XPATH. Both approaches use the same language but are very different and confusing.
