Access to XPathEvaluator or DOMParser

[lmcdasi]

Is it possible to have access to XPathEvaluator or document.evaluate into a java rhino embedded js script ?

I've tried:

String multiCode="var test=function(text, xPathRegex, xpathResult){" + "\r\n" + "const parser = new DOMParser();" + "\r\n" + "const document = parser.parseFromString(text);" + "\r\n" + "var results=document.evaluate(xPathRegex, text, null, xpathResult, null);" + "\r\n" + "return results}"; engine.eval(multiCode);

But the js engine does not have access to DOMParser. I tried XPathEvaluator too.

Rhino is an EcmaScript/JavaScript engine, which means it doesn't support all the additions that browsers ship with, which is what I think you're looking for

HtmlUnit (https://github.com/HtmlUnit/htmlunit) simulates browsers and is based on Rhino - maybe you can find some hints there.

Or maybe you can 'put' you problem in a web page and let HtmlUnit do the work.

Would it possible to reference the jquery_xpath.js in the rhino js script and use their evaluate method ?

I will look at htlmunit too.

Thx.

Rhino has e4x as a built-in xml processor.

You can get xpath support through java.
