[dom4j-user] Trying to get a W3C DOM Element from an XPath evaluation

[João Graça]

Hi! I've just started using dom4j instead of Sun API in an Android app and
I'm running into some problems in XPath. I looked at Sun API usage and tried
to do the same in dom4j but it's not working. I would greatly appreciate any
help on this. I want to do an xpath.evaluate(expression, context,
returnType) in dom4j. My approach was to create an xpath object and then
call its evaluate method:

org.dom4j.XPath myXpath = new
org.dom4j.dom.DOMDocumentFactory().createXPath(expression);
Object myResult = myXpath.evaluate(context); //

But this approach fails to result in an instance of org.w3c.dom.Element as
Sun does. dom4j selectSingleNode() fails as well. Any hints on this?
