Hi Michael (and other participants),

Thanks so much for your recommendation.

I downloaded and am experimenting with JAXP. It indeed seems to be a perfect match for my needs. It even comes with a very specific example, "XPath Demo" that I intend to use as reference.

http://jaxp.dev.java.net/

However, I am concerned because that code only displays attributes:

/root/creator/@projectpath

I wonder whether I need to modify it (how?) in order to produce other items, such as the all-important atomic text values?

TIA,

-Ramon

Hi,

JAXP has an XPath API. It is supported by Xalan and Java 5+. Here's a
reference [1] to the Javadocs.

Thanks.

Hello,

My current application runs on C++ and has many lines like this:


     Variable["user"]        = xpath_of("//root/creator/user");
     Variable["project"]     = xpath_of("//root/creator/project");
     Variable["projectpath"] = xpath_of("//root/creator/projectpath");
     Variable["title"]       = xpath_of("//root/creator/title");
     Variable["notes"]       = xpath_of("//root/creator/notes");

The LHS is a Map, and the RHS is an XQilla function.

Everything is working fine, but it seems that I will have to port the
application to Java. I don't expect to have any problem going from
Xerces-C to Xerces-J.

I need a simple retrieval function, though. Xerces programming is more
or less equivalent to assembly language.

Can you folks recommend some XPath -or equivalent- implementation that
runs on Java?

TIA,

-Ramon
