Hi Michael, thanks for your quick reply. This sounds good - but isn't that the API, which caches every XPath result? I am not sure, but in the beginning I was using an API which consumed so much memory because of many xpath evaluations. After a bit googling I found out that this behaviour is because the API was DOM conform. Right now I'm using CachedXPathAPI (http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/apidocs/org/apache/xpath/CachedXPathAPI.html), which doesn't have such problems. To be honest, I'm a bit confused: I think I'm using XALAN, though I don't need XSLT. I just want to make some XPath queries on my DOM.
