To be honest, the implementation in Avalon is correct! The XPathProcessor, the interface not the implementation, extends the Component interface, so there is no need for the implementations to implement them as well. In fact this is the way, the Avalon team suggest to design the interface. So it should be possible to use those components. Cocoon unfortunately does not follow the above guidline - not yet, but it will shorty....
