XSLT might be more useful here:
JSP:
----
<c:import url="/WEB-INF/test.xml" var="xml"/>
<c:import url="/WEB-INF/test.xsl" var="xslt"/>
<x:transform xml="${xml}" xslt="${xslt}"/>
/WEB-INF/test.xml:
------------------
<a>
<b>row1</b>
<b>row2</b>
<b>row3</b>
<b>row4</b>
<b>row5</b>
<b>row6</b>
</a>
/WEB-INF/test.xsl:
------------------
<a xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xsl:version="1.0">
<xsl:copy-of select="//b[position() < 3]"/>
</a>

> <b>row3</b>
> <b>row4</b>
> <b>row5</b>
> <b>row6</b>
> <a>
>
> xpath="/a/b[position()<3]"

> That will return me:

> But what I really want is:
> <a>
> <b>row1</b>
> <b>row2</b>
