[ http://nagoya.apache.org/jira/browse/XALANJ-1989?page=comments#action_55361 ] Joe Kesselman commented on XALANJ-1989: ---------------------------------------
Sanity-check: Describing this as a parser-support API might be misleading. The DOM3 XPath Working Note says "In a DOM implementation which supports the XPath 3.0 feature, as described above, the XPathEvaluator interface will be implemented on the same object which implements the Document interface" -- but that is not intended to preclude creating stand-alone implementations of XPathEvaluator for use with any DOM (whether it has built-in support for that feature or not). So: While we want to facilitate the use of Xylem to provide built-in XPath support for DOM implementations, we probably also want to provide a stand-alone XPathEvaluator wrapper. > Support for DOM Level 3 XPath APIs for an XML parser > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: XALANJ-1989 > URL: http://nagoya.apache.org/jira/browse/XALANJ-1989 > Project: XalanJ2 > Type: New Feature > Reporter: Brian Minchau > > This feature is opened to track support for the DOM Level 3 XPath APIs. > See http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/NOTE-DOM-Level-3-XPath-20040226/ > The support is intended only for use by an XML parser. > An XML parser should create an instance of an object that implements the > interface org.w3c.dom.xpath.XPathEvaluator.
