[jdom-interest] getting ,Invalid XPath expression after Using JDOM1 ..???

[Vikas Mane]

Hi 
ThanQ michael for immediate reply :- )
I got ur point ... but what i wonder is , how it works with the older
version of jdom and jaxen jars.

The o/p expected from xpath is getting all matching NPModule Elements at
any level. 

".//NPModule" works for me ..but still i don't understand reason for the
failure of xpath which works with older jar files.

Thanks
