Class XPathContentWorkerSelector<W extends ContentWorker>

java.lang.Object
org.alfresco.repo.content.selector.XPathContentWorkerSelector<W>
All Implemented Interfaces:
ContentWorkerSelector
public class XPathContentWorkerSelector<W extends ContentWorker> extends 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.
