Parameter in XPath Query

[adcooney]

Hi,

If I have a parameter - $P{year} = "2009", is it possible to use the parameter inside a field XPath query, such that I could do something like:

/data[year=$P{year}] and then the $P{year} would get replaced by the String value of $P{year} creating my query /data[year=2009]

 

Or if there is an alternative solution (without hard-coding the value).

I think you should be able to filter the query in that way (using the parameter in the query, maybe using the syntax $P!{param}, note the exclamation mark after the $P).

If this does not work, you can still set a filter expression (in the query dialog there is a button to set it).
