Class XmlXPathTemplateHelper

java.lang.Object

org.mockserver.templates.engine.helpers.XmlXPathTemplateHelper

public class XmlXPathTemplateHelper
extends Object

XPath evaluation helper for templates: evaluate an XPath expression against an XML document and return the string result. Uses the JDK javax.xml.xpath APIs (these stay in the javax namespace per the Java compatibility policy — they are JDK classes, not the jakarta-migrated EE ones).

The XML parser is hardened against XXE by disabling DOCTYPE declarations and external entity resolution.
