[dom4j-user] SAXReader.addHandler() path arg

[Franz Beil]

Hi,   I need to skip elements with a particular name in a xml document and tried pruning them using SAXReader.addHandler(path, handler). It seems that the path argument can only be a unique path (e.g. /parent/child/grandchild) , no wildcards seem to be permitted (e.g. //child). Is this behaviour intended? If yes, could anyone point out a solution to prune elements specified only by name anywhere in the tree on reading a xml document? Also, I'm looking for a way to prune xml comments on reading a xml doc. Is there a way to make a SAXReader call back on org.xml.sax.ext.LexicalHandler methods?   Thanks a lot for any help, Franz
