Generating and utilizing robust XPath expressions

摘要

A system and method for generating and processing robust XPath expressions. The system can include two or more differing XPath generators, at least one of the XPath generators producing at least two XPath expressions for a selected node, the produced XPath expressions forming a redundant set of robust XPath expressions configured to identify the selected node. The system further can include an XPath resolution processor, the XPath resolution processor resolving each XPath expression in the redundant set, the resolutions identifying a set of candidate nodes, the XPath resolution processor identifying the selected node from among the set of candidate nodes based upon the XPath expressions resolving to the selected node more than any other node in the set of candidate nodes.
