java - xpath not accepting this expression -

hello have on question xpath

/abcd/nsanity/component_details[@component="ucs"]/command_details[<*configscope inhierarchical="true" cookie="{cookie}" dn="org-root" */>]/collected_data

i want retrieve string above xpath statement when giving xpath xpath expression evaulate throwing exception like

caused by: javax.xml.transform.transformerexception: location path expected, following token encountered: <configscope

the bold part in xpath expression not valid predicate expression. can guess, want achieve. if want <command_details/> elements, have <configscope/> child element attributes set inhierarchical="true", cookie="{cookie}" , dn="org-root" xpath expression should be:

/abcd/nsanity/component_details[@component='ucs']/command_details[configscope[@inhierarchical='true' , @cookie='{cookie}' , @dn='org-root']]/collected_data 

here example xml:

<abcd>   <nsanity>     <component_details component="ucs">       <command_details>         <configscope inhierarchical="true" cookie="{cookie}" dn="org-root" />         <collected_data>yes</collected_data>       </command_details>       <command_details>         <configscope inhierarchical="true" cookie="{cookie}" dn="xxx"/>         <collected_data>no</collected_data>       </command_details>     </component_details>   </nsanity> </abcd> 

the following java program reads xml file test.xml , evaluates xpath expression (and prints text node of element <collected_data/>.

import javax.xml.parsers.documentbuilderfactory; import javax.xml.xpath.xpath; import javax.xml.xpath.xpathconstants; import javax.xml.xpath.xpathfactory;  import org.w3c.dom.document; import org.w3c.dom.element; import org.w3c.dom.nodelist;   public class test {    public static void main(string[] args) throws exception {     documentbuilderfactory dbf = documentbuilderfactory.newinstance();     document document = dbf.newdocumentbuilder().parse("test.xml");      xpath xpath = xpathfactory.newinstance().newxpath() ;      nodelist nl = (nodelist) xpath.evaluate("/abcd/nsanity/component_details[@component='ucs']/command_details[configscope[@inhierarchical='true' , @cookie='{cookie}' , @dn='org-root']]/collected_data", document, xpathconstants.nodeset);     for(int = 0; < nl.getlength(); i++) {       element el = (element) nl.item(i);       system.out.println(el.gettextcontent());     }   } }
