How to use XPath to filter elements by the value of another property?

Question

I have this

    XPathExpression expr = xpath.compile("/job/entries/entry/name/text()");

I need to filter by the text value of the type property so I only get the entry objects that have the value JOB in the type.

<job>
 <entries>
    <entry>
      <name>OperationalDataStoreToReconciled</name>
      <description/>
      <type>JOB</type>
    </entry>
 </entries>
</job>
