Yes - if you want XPath you need to use the Xalan library.
The Xalan DOM cab be a wrapper around the Xerces DOM - which means you
can use XPath to find what you want in the DOM and then map the Xalan
node back to a Xerces node that allows you to then change the DOM. (At
that point you need to re-wrap the Xalan DOM, but generally it's passed
its use by then anyway).
There are some examples in the Xalan site, and there is some code in the
xml-security library that calls on Xalan for some of the transformations
that might provide some pointers as well. Have a look at the
txfmxpath.cpp file.
