Exactly. JPath is an bean expression language using XPath syntax. Its main
users will be Jakarta taglibs and Struts I would imagine.
Right now today we can use Dmitri's work to allow us to get where we need
fast by allowing us to reuse Xalan as the execution engine of the XPath
syntax. One day, we'll hopefully have a "native" Java Bean implementation as
well.
