The problem is: I use this response in oreder to find there an item with 3value field = true. I need such item for the next request method.
I tried smth like this but it didn't work:
<a:HistoricalReadingSet//a:HistoricalMeterReadingSet//a:HistoricalReadings//a:HistoricalMeterReading a="http://....">
{
for $x in //a:HistoricalReadingSet//a:HistoricalMeterReadingSet//a:HistoricalReadings//a:HistoricalMeterReading
where $x/a:HistoricalReadingSet//a:HistoricalMeterReadingSet//a:HistoricalReadings//a:HistoricalMeterReading//a:CanStartDispute/text() = 'true'
return $x
}
</a:HistoricalReadingSet//a:HistoricalMeterReadingSet//a:HistoricalReadings//a:HistoricalMeterReading>
What is wrong? How would you do it?

Answer 1

In Xml the numbers are not alloweds as a first character of tag names, besides your xml is not well formed since some tags are not correctly closed. Try first correcting your xml.
<a:SetOfItems>
<a:Item>
<a:Id>1</a:Id>
<a:firstValue>12121212</a:firstValue>
<a:secondValue>sdfhjfsdf</a:secondValue>
<a:thirdValue>false</a:thirdValue>
</a:Item>
<a:Item>
<a:Id>2</a:Id>
<a:firstValue>12121212</a:firstValue>
<a:secondValue>sdfhjfsdf</a:secondValue>
<a:thirdValue>true</a:thirdValue>
</a:Item>
</a:SetOfItems>
Then to add your XQuery as a property transfer to select only the <a:Item> elements where <a:thirdValue> has a text value true you can use the follow expression:
<a:SetOfItems xmlns:a="blabla">
{
for $x in //*:Item
where $x/*:thirdValue/text() = 'true'
return $x
}
</a:SetOfItems>
Note the use of * wildcard to refer any namespace.
Applying this XQuery to your XML you will get:
<a:SetOfItems xmlns:a="blabla">
<a:Item>
<a:Id>2</a:Id>
<a:firstValue>12121212</a:firstValue>
<a:secondValue>sdfhjfsdf</a:secondValue>
<a:thirdValue>true</a:thirdValue>
</a:Item>
</a:SetOfItems>
EDIT BASED ON THE QUESTION UPDATE
I think that there are various things wrong in your XQuery, the follow XQuery works for your xml:
<a:HistoricalReadingSet xmlns:a="http://a">
{
for $x in //*:HistoricalReadingSet/*:HistoricalMeterReadingSet
where $x/*:HistoricalReadings/*:HistoricalMeterReading/*:CanStartDispute/text() = 'true'
return $x
}
</a:HistoricalReadingSet>
It's generate the follow result:
<a:HistoricalReadingSet xmlns:a="http://a">
<a:HistoricalMeterReadingSet xmlns:a="http://a" xmlns:i="http://i" xmlns="http://b" xmlns:s="http://soap">

</a:HistoricalReadings>
</a:HistoricalMeterReadingSet>
</a:HistoricalReadingSet>
EDIT BASED ON COMMENT
If you only want to take the <MeterReadingId> value where <CanStartDispute> sibling is true, you can simply use the follow XPath instead of XQuery:
//*:HistoricalReadingSet/*:HistoricalMeterReadingSet/*:HistoricalReadings/*:HistoricalMeterReading/*:MeterReadingId[../*:CanStartDispute/text() = 'true']
Hope it helps,
