Branch expression question

,

Hi all,

I am quite new to the webMethods product.

I have a question regarding BRANCH expressions.

It is possible to create Xpath like conditions like:

  1. Check existence of a node depending on text value in sub-node or other relative axis, e.g. /mydoc/child[value=“foo”] != $null

  2. Check existence of any node (at least one) having the specified text content, independent of the position within a list, e.g.

/order/itemList/item/productName = “Sony PSP”

whereas “item” is a record, that might occur a couple of times.

According to the documentation both scenarios are not supported.

If you know about some workarounds or best practices, just let me know.

Best regards,
Peter

Hi Peter,
Yeah, I am afraid, we cannot directly achieve the scenarios u have specified.

For first case you can use 2 branch stmts , one inside the other one. If first condition is true u can check the 2nd one.

2nd one, I dont think i understand what you are trying to achieve.
