XPath for attribute value based on another attribute value

Question

Please help me to get an XML value using XPath. I have following XML code:

<packagedElement xmi:type="uml:Activity" name="Display Message" visibility="public" isReadOnly="false"/>
<packagedElement xmi:type='uml:Package' xmi:id='EAPK_358475EC_46AD_43eb_A00F_1A18E1B280D4' name='ATM Withdrawal'>
<node isReadOnly="false" name="Accept card" xmi:type="uml:Activity">
<ownedMember name="Model" visibility="public" xmi:type="uml:Package">

All I want is to get all @name value where xmi:type="uml:Activity". The results should be:

Display Message, Accept Card

This XPath,

//*[@xmi:type="uml:Activity"]/@name

will select the name attributes for all elements with @xmi:type="uml:Activity".

Note that this presumes that you've bound the xmi namespace prefix to match its binding in the XML document. How you do that depends upon the language hosting XPath. For details, see How does XPath deal with XML namespaces?

Thank you. but how do I get the value from '' element? '' element has attribute '@xmi:type='uml:Activity' too – Hafif Bustani Wahyudi Sep 26 '18 at 02:40
Answer updated to disregard element name so that both `packagedElement` and `node` (and any other element) will match. – kjhughes Sep 26 '18 at 02:42
Great! it helps. Thanks! – Hafif Bustani Wahyudi Sep 26 '18 at 02:55
