I think, it is better to include XPath as part of Axiom, rather than a separate project/sub project. Since it is an addition of functionality, whether XPath is part of the same library, or separate library, the level of unstableness will be same. It will not modify any existing functionality. But, later in time, if we want to use some functionlity of XPath in our Axiom logic, (for example, methods like axiom_element_get_children_with_xpath()), then it is better to include XPath as part of axiom.

HI Dumindu,

I think if we can include XPath as a seperate library it will be better. If we include this to the Axiom it will make the Axiom much heavier. Axiom is a well tested module and adding a large peice of not very well tested code can make the Axiom unstable. Also if we make XPath a separate sub project under Axiom it will be easier for us to maintain.

    Hi All,

    I have started on integrating the XPath implementation done by
    Varuna for GSoC [1] with our main trunk. I assume that (xpath
    being specific to axiom), we can compile it directly into
    libaxis2_axiom.so. Thus the source will go to /axiom/src/xpath
    directory, and the includes, tests accordingly to relevant
    directories relative to that location. You can find the branch I'm
    working at [2].

    Thanks,
    Dumindu.
