XPath Convert Node to String

Question posted by: sshahin@gmail.com (Guest) on October 24th, 2005 05:35 PM

Is there a way to Convert a Node to a String using XPath 1.0? For
example, consider the following xml doc:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<FaultTo xmlns="http://blah.org"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<Address>http://www.altova.com</Address>

<ReferenceProperties>

<fabrikam:CustomerKey1 xmlns:fabrikam="http://blah.com">3333
<fabrikam:type>TYPE4</fabrikam:type>
</fabrikam:CustomerKey1>

<fabrikam:CustomerKey2
xmlns:fabrikam="http://blah.com">4444</fabrikam:CustomerKey2>

<fabrikam:CustomerKey3
xmlns:fabrikam="http://blah.com">6666</fabrikam:CustomerKey3>

</ReferenceProperties>

<ServiceName PortName="NCName">q:name</ServiceName>
</FaultTo>

I want to be able to extract and return everything contained within
<ReferenceProperties> as a string using xpath 1.0 (I do not wish to use
CDATA or any workarounds like this; basically the XML should be left
untouched with no modifications).
