Re: [OT]Variable evaluation in XAPTH expression

[Kris Schneider]

The JDOM XPath class has a method called setVariable, and variables in 
XPath expressions start with the $ character. I've never played with the 
JDOM XPath stuff, but I assume it's something like:

XPath xp = XPath.newInstance("/*/*/[EMAIL PROTECTED]");
xp.setVariable("map", "europe");
