Hi. JXPath is pretty darned cool by the way; thanks to all those who worked on it. Any way, I am examining an XML document that uses several namespaces. There are a few string values I want to fetch out of it that are common siblings at the same point in the document. I could use the same JXPathContext reference to fetch out the values I want, but then the beginning part of the xpath expression would be the same and presumably would incur redundant tree traversal. I'd like for JXPath to get me to the common ancestor of the elements I want, and then I'll evaluate simpler expressions from there. From the user guide, I am to follow these instructions: http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/jxpath/users-guide.html#Relative_Contexts Relative Contexts . I registered the relevant XML namespaces on the first JXPathContext I got ahold of so that I could use them in my expressions. Unfortunately, if you generate a Pointer and then a "relative" JXPathContext (via the getRelativeContext(Pointer) method), the namespace registrations I did are forgotten. I could of course re-register them but I think JXPath should be improved so that is not necessary. Do people agree with me that this is a shortcoming?
