XPpath-parsing leads to zero output

[WOPR (A. R.)]

Hi there,
I am having a problem with parsing an xml-document with XPath via http. My document looks like this (output truncated):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
  <Device Name="Inverter" NominalPower="5000" Type="Inverter" Serial="XXX" BusAddress="X" NetBiosName="XXX" IpAddress="1.2.3.4" DateTime="2018-07-25T19:15:22">
    <Measurements>
      <Measurement Value="3414.9" Unit="W" Type="AC_Power"/>
      <Measurement Value="1140.4" Unit="W" Type="AC_Power1"/>
      <Measurement Value="1140.2" Unit="W" Type="AC_Power2"/>
      <Measurement Value="1136.5" Unit="W" Type="AC_Power3"/>
      <Measurement Value="49.989" Unit="Hz" Type="AC_Frequency1"/>
      <Measurement Value="49.998" Unit="Hz" Type="AC_Frequency2"/>
      <Measurement Value="49.998" Unit="Hz" Type="AC_Frequency3"/>
      <Measurement Value="49.9" Unit="°C" Type="Temp"/>
      <Measurement Value="4409.3" Unit="W" Type="GridPower"/>
      <Measurement Value="100.0" Unit="%" Type="Derating"/>
    </Measurements>
  </Device>
</root>

I am inetressted in the values of “AC Power” and “GridPower” (don’t ask me why the file has this format), but there must be a mistake in my .items-file. I only get an empty string.

String inv_acpower	"Inverter AC Power [%s]"  {http = "<[http://1.2.3.4/measurements.xml:60000:XPATH(/root/Device/Measurements/Measurement[@Type='AC_Power']/@Value)]"}

When I apply this code to some online testing tools (e.g. https://www.freeformatter.com/xpath-tester.html), the result of my parsing is “Value=3414.9”

Anyone can help?
The closest topic seems this one, but did not give any more hints.

Running this rule returns the Value. Are you sure you installed the XPath transformation service?

rule "Test XPath"
    when
        Item Test_1 received command
    then
    val testXML = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?><root><Device Name=\"Inverter\" NominalPower=\"5000\" Type=\"Inverter\" Serial=\"XXX\" BusAddress=\"X\" NetBiosName=\"XXX\" IpAddress=\"1.2.3.4\" DateTime=\"2018-07-25T19:15:22\"><Measurements><Measurement Value=\"3414.9\" Unit=\"W\" Type=\"AC_Power\"/><Measurement Value=\"1140.4\" Unit=\"W\" Type=\"AC_Power1\"/><Measurement Value=\"1140.2\" Unit=\"W\" Type=\"AC_Power2\"/><Measurement Value=\"1136.5\" Unit=\"W\" Type=\"AC_Power3\"/><Measurement Value=\"49.989\" Unit=\"Hz\" Type=\"AC_Frequency1\"/><Measurement Value=\"49.998\" Unit=\"Hz\" Type=\"AC_Frequency2\"/><Measurement Value=\"49.998\" Unit=\"Hz\" Type=\"AC_Frequency3\"/><Measurement Value=\"49.9\" Unit=\"°C\" Type=\"Temp\"/><Measurement Value=\"4409.3\" Unit=\"W\" Type=\"GridPower\"/><Measurement Value=\"100.0\" Unit=\"%\" Type=\"Derating\"/></Measurements></Device></root>"
    val mytest = transform("XPATH","/root/Device/Measurements/Measurement[@Type='AC_Power']/@Value" , testXML)
    logInfo("XML Test","Result:" + mytest)
end

Hey!
Adapting your rule works fine! Thank you very much!

rule "Test XPath"
    when
        Item inv_acpower received update
    then
    val testXML = inv_acpower.state.toString
    val mytest = transform("XPATH","/root/Device/Measurements/Measurement[@Type='AC_Power']/@Value" , testXML)
    logInfo("XML Test","Result:" + mytest)
end

Output

[ipse.smarthome.model.script.XML Test] - Result:1873.3

Does this mean, I can only use this XPath-tranfsormation within a rule?

Regards!

I don’t think so. Do you see anythink related to this transformaiton in the logs?

Maybe setting the logging level of the http binding to TRACE gives some hints.
