Hi everyone, At this moment, I am working on a web service and I am looking for the most "usable" way to handle XML. I discarded JDOM as it seems to be rather slow. Then I got here and I found these options: * Either I can follow the easy steps in the "5 seconds tutorial" on the Xalan homepage (using XPathFactory) * or I can directly create a new instance of org.apache.xpath.XPath class
I would prefer the "factory way" as it seems to me to be more readable (I know, a matter of taste). However, I heard that when I use the factory way and "evaluate" method, I get a seriuos performance hit. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance, Jan
