How to delete XPATH capabilities from JNC hello message about jnc HOT 2 CLOSED

Interesting, an HP netconf implementation I'm unaware of. I have no experience with this device. It may be that the JNC and their NETCONF impl have some quirks working together.
Nevertheless, as for the actual XPATH capa, there is no negotiation going on, both ends send to the other what they're capable of, and it's up to the receiver to respect that.

And AFAIK, JNC doesn't send the xpath capa, typically the agent (server) sends it, and then it's
up to the client (JNC) to see and respect that. If the HP switch doesn't send xapth capa, it just means the if we want to do selective get-config RPC, we must use std subfilter, and not xpath

As for the JNC examples - no I'd say that few (any ??) of the examples are dependent on xpath.

So, I'd say that answer from HP support is strange.

To ensure NETCONF standard compliance, you could try to send some simple payloads using the 'ssh -s .... netconf' shell command . You could post those here if you want to.
