What can you do with Jexl what you can't do with an XPath based language? My understanding is that they only differ in their syntax ('.' instead of '/'). Now even if Jexl has more functionality I don't see a reason why this could not be added to an xpath based language.
Technically this should be possible, but how do we write something like "widget.getChild("foo").getAttribute("bar")" in XPath?
Tecnically, this will be getAttribute(getChild($widget, "foo"), "bar")
in JXPath. Not exactly easy to read, but possible :)
That's what I meant: not exactly easy to read, especially for someone having the related Java API in mind :-)
