Well you have not provided any details about the context you use XPath 
in other than saying that you "have defined ... rowmapping". If you treat
   //block/*
as a "row" then you have two rows in your sample XML data, the 
parameters child element of the first block id="block" element and the 
datatables child element of the second block id="block" element.

Your other XPath expressions certainly select a node-set of id or value 
attributes but I guess the environment in which you evaluate them simply 
takes the string value of the first node in that node-set.

So map parameter and datum elements to rows, then you can access the id 
and value attribute of each row.
