XPath for web.xml

Jan 8th, 2009

Hello,

Is it possible to write xpath expressions that will query a web server's web.xml like this one :

 Help with Code Tags 
 XML, XSLT and XPATH Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
<web-app>
 <display-name>My Application</display-name>
  <!-- Standard Action Servlet Configuration (with debugging) -->
  <servlet>
    <servlet-name>TestServlet</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>com.mycompany.MyServlet</servlet-class>
  </servlet>
 
  <!-- Standard Action Servlet Mapping -->
  <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>TestServlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/first</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>
 
</web-app>
<web-app>
 <display-name>My Application</display-name>
  <!-- Standard Action Servlet Configuration (with debugging) -->
  <servlet>
    <servlet-name>TestServlet</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>com.mycompany.MyServlet</servlet-class>
  </servlet>

  <!-- Standard Action Servlet Mapping -->
  <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>TestServlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/first</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>

</web-app>

I would want to know if a particular web.xml has certain set of tags present or not. Like <servlet> and </servlet>
And if yes to get their count.
How can this be achieved using XPath expressions?

Tahnks.
