Yeah, I forgot that Map doesn't extend Collection, and this would make sense as to why I get the behavior when I extend anything besides Map. > The idea of traversing such > collections in XPath expressions is a central feature of JXPath.

I agree that this is useful, however I'm kind of surprised that it doesn't allow you to work with the collections in this way. > Perhaps you can warp the collection in another object to hide it from > XPath. That's a good thought too, however in my case Bar also contains Bars, so I would have to go and wrap all of these which will end up being a mess. Otherwise that would be a good work-around. I'm probably going to end up temporarily giving up on this, but if anyone has any ideas for a work-around please let me know. Maybe in the future I'll look into messing with the JXPath library.
