Using XPath and XACML

XPath expressions can be used in attribute selectors in XACML. They can be used to process the XML content sent within a XACML request to the PDP. With these capabilities, you can support very complex scenarios.

David Brossard discusses use cases of this kind in a recent blog. For details, see http://www.webfarmr.eu/2011/08/xacml-102-xpath-and-xacml/.
