[Exist-open] XPathAPI

[Matthew F. <ma...@ag...>]

I am currently using eXist9.1 and am pretty new to the program. I have 
embedded it into a java application that I am writing and am trying to use 
XPathAPI to get the values of the element. 

What I want is the value only. The problem is that XPathAPI.eval(node, string) 
seems to hang. It does not throw an exception, yet it will not move on from 
this call. 

When I print out the node, everything seems to be ok.

I am on a severe time crunch, so any immediate ideas will be extremly helpful. 
If anyone has ANY ideas, please post them immediatly.

Thanks for your help....

Example: 
	<canal>
		<canal_name>Canal1</canal_name>
		<canal_resource>canal_1</canal_resource>
	</canal>

            System.out.println("WHILE...");
            // Create a new canal instance to add to Group
            Canal c = new Canal();

            // Retrieve the next node
            XMLResource resource = (XMLResource) results.nextResource();

            // Cast to Dom Node

            Node originalnode = resource.getContentAsDOM();
            System.out.println(originalnode.toString());

            // Get the document key for this node for later use
            String dockey = resource.getDocumentId();
            c.setDocKey(dockey);

            // Use Xalan xpath parser to extract data, store into hastable
            XObject xo = new XObject();
            XPathAPI xp = new XPathAPI();
            xo = xp.eval(originalnode, "/canal/canal_name");

            c.setName(xo.toString());

            xo = XPathAPI.eval(originalnode, "/canal/canal_resource");
            c.setResource(xo.toString());

            // Add person to group
            this.add(c);
         }
      }
      catch (Exception e) {
         e.printStackTrace();
      }
System.out.println("OUT OF WHILE");
