[jdom-interest] JDOMSource and Oracle's jaxp classes

[Frank Sauer]

When I try to do an XSL transformation on a jdom tree
using Oracle's xml classes from xmlparserv2.jar (includes
the javax.xml.transform api) I get the following:

java.lang.ClassCastException: org.jdom.transform.JDOMSource$DocumentReader
	at oracle.xml.jaxp.JXTransformer.transform(JXTransformer.java:201)
	at com.trcinc.fpl.commands.Transform.transform(Transform.java:65)
	at com.trcinc.fpl.commands.Transform.process(Transform.java:46)
	at com.trcinc.fpl.commands.FPLNode.recurse(FPLNode.java:163)

The same code works with xalan/crimson as well as saxon/aelfred, anyone
seen this and knows a solution?

Thanks,

Frank

Subject: [jdom-interest] XPath support


This question may be more for Jason Hunter and/or Brett McLaughlin.
We are currently investigating whether to use DOM or JDOM in our
transactional XML-based web application.  Many of our functions involve
searching, removing, and replacing elements and their text values.
Naturally, using Xpath is much easier than coding a bunch of recursive
search methods. We briefly experimented with using DOM's built-in Xpath
support, and also experimented with JDOM using Jaxen as it's Xpath support.
JDOM is much more intuitive to code in as a Java developer, but we're a
little worried about using a third-party Xpath solution.  Also, the
JDOM/Jaxen combo seems slower compared to DOM.  We have only run a few small
tests so far though... 
Any thoughts on this?  Will JDOM have native Xpath support any time soon?

Thanks,
