http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=32360 ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2005-11-03 23:38 ------- 1. The GUMP failure had little to do with this bug. They had to do with the version of JDOM. I have already made a change to bring JXPath in line with JDOM 1.0 (it was on b9 before), so the GUMP complaints will hopefully stop. 2. We have switched from the CVS repository to SVN. 3. XPath 2.0 or not: that's a timely question. They released a candidate recommendation for XPath 2.0 today (Nov 3, 2005). Yay!!! See http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath20/ Hopefully the final document will not differ from this recommendation in any significant way. Should we start looking into implementing it? Will somebody be willing to help? I personally don't have the cycles this undertaking would require. Philosophically speaking, does JXPath really need to follow the latest standards? After all, its original purpose was to apply XPath syntax to JavaBeans. With JavaBeans, all intricacies of namespaces and axes and predicates and document order etc are irrelevant or unimportant. Now and then I discover some problems with JXPath's implementation of more esoteric parts of the spec, but I never get any bug reports around those issues. To me this means that people do not use JXPath's implementation of XPath to the full extent. Perhaps most users basically stick to paths like "/a/b/c" or "//foo [bar=3]". XPath 1.0 is perfectly sufficient for those. To re-phrase the question: what role do we want JXPath to play in the general Apache platform? Should it be on par with Xalan and other implementers of W3C Standards or should it remain what it is today: a kitchen utensil for those who like mixing oil and water (i.e. XPath and JavaBeans)? -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
