Well, if JXPath gives you an XPointer from an XPath, why not just generate an XPath for a node? It will obviously not be the most readable XPath, or the most efficient (doing that is impossible). For example if you have:
<foo> <bar1> <bar2/> <bar3/> </bar1> </foo> and you want an XPath for bar3, it could simply be: child::*[position()=1]/child::*[position()=1]/child::*[position()=2] run against the Document node. You should be able to accomplish this with about 10 lines of code. hth, -Nikhil On Thu, 30 Mar 2006, Brian Demers wrote: > JXPath can return an XPointer string from a given XPath expression. > How ever this is not all that usefull to me. > > Does anyone know of a way to automaticly generate and XPointer string > from a given XML node? > > Thanks again! > > On 3/30/06, Michael Glavassevich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Mon, 27 Mar 2006, Brian Demers wrote: > > > > > Can an XPointer string be generated from a given node?
