Subject: [JXPath] function name() with attribute nodes.

Hi,

Just wondering if the JXPath mailing list is still alive. Well if it is, 
I have a question.
I'm trying to point to certain attributes in my xml data using the 
following xpath:
   element/@*[name()!='attribute']
This should retrieve all attributes of the element called "element" but 
the attribute called "attribute", if i'm not mistaken. However, this is 
not the case, all attributes are returned, even the "attribute" one.
I tried to play around a bit and I realised that the xpath:
   element/@attribute[name()!='attribute']
would also return the attribute "attribute". But the xpath:
   element/@*[string()!='value']
where "value" is the value of the attribute "attribute" does work 
(attribute "attribute" is not retrieved).
My conclusion was then that the method name() for attribute was not 
working in JXPath 1.1.
Is it a bug or simply not implemented yet?

Thanks,

Jean-Baptiste REURE.
