XPath abstraction [SWS-19]

Arjen Poutsma opened SWS-19 and commented

While developing Web service, XPath expression are quite valuable.

For compatibility reasons, we cannot directly depend on the XPath API introduced in JAXP 1.3. Instead, we need to create an XPath abstraction that wraps JAXP 1.3, and other XPath APIs.

Currently, I've implemented support for JAXP 1.3 XPath expressions, Jaxen, and Xalan. Namespaces and corresponding prefixes used in the XPath expression can be configured using a Map.
