Hi Jim I've added your test case to CVS. The xml document is in xml/test/jimBrain.xml and I've added a JUnit test case to demonstrate what I think you're trying to do at
dom4j/src/test/org/dom4j/xpath/TestSelectSingleNode.java >From my testing it appears that dom4j 1.1 is working correctly for selectSingleNode using your XML document. Is there a chance you're doing something else differently? BTW you can find an Element and add a comment to it. e.g. Element server = (Element) document.selectSingleNode( "/properties/server" ); server.addComment( "this is a comment..." ); For example, could you modify the test case to try reproduce your problem? The test case is available in the daily build as well as via CVS...
