I doubt there is a way to get the element which has a particular value (text) from xml document using xpath.

Example doc:

<domain log-root="/logs" application-root="/applications"><resources>
<jdbc-resource pool-name="SamplePool" jndi-name="jdbc/sample" />
<jdbc-resource pool-name="TimerPool" jndi-name="abc">text1</jdbc-resource>
<jdbc-resource pool-name="TimerPool" jndi-name="def">text2</jdbc-resource>
<jdbc-resource pool-name="TimerPool" jndi-name="ghi">text3</jdbc-resource></resources</domain>

Example xPath Query:

/domain//jdbc-resource[@pool-name='TimerPool']/text()='text2'

Please post your ideas if there is any.

    Use:

    /domain/*/jdbc-resource[@pool-name='TimerPool' and .='text2']

    or you may use:

    /domain/*/jdbc-resource[@pool-name='TimerPool'][.='text2']

    Both expressions above select all jdbc-resource elements the string value of whose pool-name attribute is "TimerPoool" and whose string value (of the jdbc-resource element) is "text2" and that are grand-children of the top element of the XML document.
