+1 (of course)
Wanted to add something to Craig's message. This new
version of JXPath supports an alternative mapping for
maps and simlar objects with dynamic properties:
"employee/addresses[@name = 'home']/zipCode"
In many cases this syntax is preferable as the key
value can be an expression like:
"employee/addresses[@name = $addressType]/zipCode"
The attribute name "name" is reserved for this
purpose.
