Really its not very hard to write the equivalent of xpath_of(), given the DOM. Its probably 20 lines of code or so. Anyone have this laying about already :)

I don't expect to have any problem going from Xerces-C to Xerces-J. I need a simple retrieval function, though. Xerces programming is more or less equivalent to assembly language. Can you folks recommend some XPath -or equivalent- implementation that runs on Java? TIA, -Ramon
