Assuming <article> as your scope....
I believe the correct paths would be....
((authors/author='Date' or title='Database Systems') and
../../number='1')

How can I do this query resolving with XSLT?
(I need this for an java xml wrapper, that can submit queries to given
docs
without knowing a lot of their structure)
My query is an boolean expression:
###########################
((author='Date' or title='Database Systems') and number='1')
PROBLEM: 'number' is not part of the same parent as 'author'
My input XML look like this:
######################
<SigmodRecord>
<issue>
<volume>12</volume>
<number>1</number>
<articles>
<article>
<authors>
<author>Date</author>
<author>Knuth</author>
<authors>
<title>Database Systems</title>
</article>
<article>
<authors>
<author>Horak</author>
<author>Elmasri</author>
<authors>
<title>Database Systems</title>
</article>
*more articles*
</articles>
</issue>
<issue>
...
</issue>
*more issues*
</SigmodRecord>
The result doc should have the same structure as the source but filter
out
nodes that don't make sense:
########################################################################
####
<SigmodRecord>
<issue>
<volume>12</volume>
<number>1</number>
<articles>
<article>
<authors>
<author>Date</author>
<author>Knuth</author>
<authors>
<title>Database Systems</title>
</article>
</articles>
</issue>
</SigmodRecord>
It would be great I somebody could help me out. This is part of a
university
project.
Thanks Robert.
