Using the remove action for the AttributeValueBObj element

The remove action removes the elements indicated by the Path element.

If multiple elements are referenced by the Path element, all those elements are removed. You can use an index to reference a specific element for removal. For example, if multiple pen descriptions are allowed in the example spec, you can use /penSpec/penDescription[2] to refer to the second pen description.
  • Action—The String remove.
  • Path—Mandatory. This is a reference to an existing element. It cannot be a reference to the root element of the XML document.
  • Value—Not applicable. If this element is provided, it is ignored.
  • Example—The following remove action: 
    <AttributeValueBObj>
  <Action>remove</Action>
  <Path>/penSpec/penDescription</Path>
</AttributeValueBObj>
