Hope you have a good day.
The Dom4j javadoc form Node.selectObject(String xpathExpression) says the following:
...The object returned can either be a List of one or more Node instances or a scalar object like a String or a Number instance depending on the XPath expression.
However when I try to get a list of String on this piece of xml:
...
pro1
pro1
pro1
...
with the following code:
List result = document.selectObject("/root/level1/property/text()")
I get a list of org.dom4j.tree.DefaultText objet. Of course I can iterate on the list but I yould like to know if there is a way to get a list of String.

An expression is evaluated to yield an
object, which has one of the following
four basic types:
node-set (an unordered collection of nodes without duplicates)
boolean (true or false)
number (a floating-point number)
string (a sequence of UCS characters)
So, no sequence of xs:string in XPath 1.0
In XPath 2.0 there is a sequence data type, of course...
