Hi Ori, I'll let others comment on this as well - but the following is my understanding.

Hello, I wonder if xerces 2.7 supports Xpath.
no.
I need to extract a node from a document by using an Xpath expression. I saw that there is a class called DOMXPathEvaluator. Does it support Xpath completely? Are there any usage examples?
It does not support XPath - I'm not sure why the stub files are present. It could be that they are the minimum support needed to plug in an external XPath implementation into Xerces.
Is it better to use Xalan? What is the relation between the implemented Xpath abilities in Xerces and Xalan? Is it a shared source code?
Yes, or you can use other XPath implementations as well. I beliefe that Pathan also works with Xerces. Xalan and Xerces have no code overlap, but Xalan can be configured to use Xerces. Cheers, jas.
