<P><FONT SIZE=2>Dear All,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I have been looking to use XPath within JDOM to stop code bloat (i.e. instead of calling getchild repeatedly). I have noted the werken, Jaxen & SaxPath code. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>A) werken seems to be deprecated in favour of the other 2.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>B) I note from the JDOM home page that 1.1 is oging to be doing XPath.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>What do people here recomend (a) between the 2 existing non-deprecated code bases & (b) relative to "native JDOM" stuff if one was looking to put some XPATH stuff into a piece of code which at the moment uses JDOM exclusively for XML manipulation/interaction.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Wait? Go with Jaxen?</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>It isn't a killer but it's tedious to know exactly where in the tree I want to be & thus to have to call getRoot followed by many getChild statements (or one long one).</FONT></P>
