public class XPathBuilder extends org.apache.camel.support.service.ServiceSupport implements org.apache.camel.CamelContextAware, org.apache.camel.Expression, org.apache.camel.Predicate, org.apache.camel.spi.NamespaceAware, org.apache.camel.spi.ExpressionResultTypeAware
Creates an XPath expression builder which creates a nodeset result by default. If you want to evaluate a String expression then call stringResult()

An XPath object is not thread-safe and not reentrant. In other words, it is the application's responsibility to make sure that one XPath object is not used from more than one thread at any given time, and while the evaluate method is invoked, applications may not recursively call the evaluate method.

This implementation is thread safe by using thread locals and pooling to allow concurrency.

Important: After configuring the XPathBuilder its advised to invoke BaseService.start() to prepare the builder before using; though the builder will auto-start on first use.

      The document type controls which kind of Class Camel should convert the payload to before doing the xpath evaluation.

      For example you can set it to InputSource to use SAX streams. By default Camel uses Document as the type.

      Parameters:
      documentType - the document type
      Returns:
      the current builder

    • factory

      public XPathBuilder factory(XPathFactory xpathFactory)
      Configures to use the provided XPath factory.

      Can be used to use Saxon instead of the build in factory from the JDK.

      Parameters:
      xpathFactory - the xpath factory to use
      Returns:
      the current builder.

    • logNamespaces

      public XPathBuilder logNamespaces()
      Activates trace logging of all discovered namespaces in the message - to simplify debugging namespace-related issues

      Namespaces are printed in Hashmap style {xmlns:prefix=[namespaceURI], xmlns:prefix=[namespaceURI]}.

      The implicit XML namespace is omitted (http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace). XML allows for namespace prefixes to be redefined/overridden due to hierarchical scoping, i.e. prefix abc can be mapped to http://abc.com, and deeper in the document it can be mapped to http://def.com. When two prefixes are detected which are equal but are mapped to different namespace URIs, Camel will show all namespaces URIs it is mapped to in an array-style.

      This feature is disabled by default.

      Returns:
      the current builder.

    • threadSafety

      public XPathBuilder threadSafety(boolean threadSafety)
      Whether to enable thread-safety for the returned result of the xpath expression. This applies to when using NODESET as the result type, and the returned set has multiple elements. In this situation there can be thread-safety issues if you process the NODESET concurrently such as from a Camel Splitter EIP in parallel processing mode. This option prevents concurrency issues by doing defensive copies of the nodes.

      It is recommended to turn this option on if you are using camel-saxon or Saxon in your application. Saxon has thread-safety issues which can be prevented by turning this option on.

      Thread-safety is disabled by default

      Returns:
      the current builder.

    • preCompile

      public XPathBuilder preCompile(boolean preCompile)
      Whether to enable pre-compiling the xpath expression during initialization phase. pre-compile is enabled by default. This can be used to turn off, for example in cases the compilation phase is desired at the starting phase, such as if the application is ahead of time compiled (for example with camel-quarkus) which would then load the xpath factory of the built operating system, and not a JVM runtime.
      Returns:
      the current builder.

    • getXPathFactory

      public XPathFactory getXPathFactory()
