In this example, we want to address all items of a _purchaseOrder{_}. 
The XPath expression reads as follows: 
_/purchaseOrder/item_
To address the JAXFront{^}^ list type _item{_}, the XPath expression reads as follows: 
_/purchaseOrder/item\[list\]_
To address individual _items, apply the_ following completely normal XPath expression: 
_/purchaseOrder/item\[3\]._
The _\[text\]_ predicate identifies the contents of a leaf element, which has at least one attribute defined. This leaf element becomes a simple group for JAXFront{^}^ (see _Representation Types_ in the _JAXFront Whitepaper{_}). 
However, with the normal XPath expression, you cannot differentiate what is meant: the whole group or only the text contents of this node.
