try {
// read and clean document
TagNode tagNode = new HtmlCleaner().clean(new File("test.xml"));
Document document = new DomSerializer(new CleanerProperties()).createDOM(tagNode);
// use XPath to find target node
XPath xpath = XPathFactory.newInstance().newXPath();
Node node = (Node) xpath.evaluate("//*[text()='content']", document, XPathConstants.NODE);
// assembles jquery/css selector
String result = "";
while (node != null && node.getParentNode() != null) {

node = node.getParentNode();
}
System.out.println(result);
// returns html body div#myDiv.foo.bar p#tID
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
// Gets id and class attributes of this node
private static String readPath(Node node) {
NamedNodeMap attributes = node.getAttributes();
String id = readAttribute(attributes.getNamedItem("id"), "#");
String clazz = readAttribute(attributes.getNamedItem("class"), ".");
return node.getNodeName() + id + clazz;
}
// Read attribute
private static String readAttribute(Node node, String token) {
String result = "";
if(node != null) {
result = token + node.getTextContent().replace(" ", token);
}
return result;
}
}
XML EXAMPLE
<html>
<body>
<br>
<div id="myDiv" class="foo bar">
<p id="tID">content</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
EXPLANATION
- The object
documentpoints to the XML being evaluated. - XPath
//*[text()='content']finds everthing with text = 'content' and finds node. whileloops to the first node, getting the id and classes of the current element.
