    Description

      The following code:

      std::unique_ptr<XercesDOMParser> parser(new XercesDOMParser());
      /** init **/
      DOMDocument *doc = (*parser).getDocument();
      XMLCh* xpathStr=XMLString::transcode("/root/foo[@id=\"123\"]");
      DOMElement* root = doc->getDocumentElement();
      try
      {
          DOMXPathNSResolver* resolver=doc->createNSResolver(root);
          DOMXPathResult* result=doc->evaluate(
                      xpathStr,
                      root,
                      resolver,
                      DOMXPathResult::ORDERED_NODE_SNAPSHOT_TYPE,
                      NULL);
      
         result->release();
          resolver->release();
      }
      catch(const DOMXPathException& e)
      {
          XERCES_STD_QUALIFIER cerr << "Error:"
                                    << XERCES_STD_QUALIFIER endl
                                    << StrX(e.getMessage()) << XERCES_STD_QUALIFIER endl;
      }
      

      Results in an exception XPath_TokenNotSupported being thrown from XPathScannerForSchema::addToken. The latest being called in XPathScanner::scanExpression.

      The XPathScannerForSchema object is created in XercesXPath::parseExpression.

      I don't know if this is an unwanted behavior as the XPath expression is valid according to https://www.w3.org/TR/xpath/#path-abbrev or if the XPath parsing ins't fully implemented and this syntax isn't supported yet (therefore this issue should rather be an improvement request). Anyway this is a bit annoying.
