Frank, here's the implementation of document.selectNodes():
public List selectNodes(String xpathExpression) { XPath xpath = createXPath(xpathExpression); return xpath.selectNodes(this); } Looks a lot like your alternative! My suggestion: use document.selectNodes() unless you intend to use the same XPath expression multiple times.
