Subject: [VOTE] Promote "JPath" from Sandbox to Commons and rename "JXPath"
> The "JPath" component supports XPath-expression navigation across trees of
> JavaBeans, so you can say things like:
>
> "employee/addresses/home/zipCode"
>
> to do the equivalent of
>
> getEmployee().getAddresses().get("home").getZipCode()
>
> This will be very useful in scripted environments (such as workflows or
> JSP custom tags) and other places where you want to treat an existing set
> of JavaBeans like you would treat an XML document.
>
> This is a proposal to promote the code in the "jpath" directory in
> jakarta-commons-sandbox into jakarta-commons proper so that development
> can proceed towards an initial Commons release (and other packages can
> rely on it).
>
> The name change (back to the original name of JXPath) is to avoid
> confusion with the "JPath" code that is included in the JSP Standard Tag
> Library early access release (under jakarta-taglibs) which is somewhat
> similar in function but completely different in internals.
>
> Initial committers will be Dmitri Plotnikov (original author) and Craig
> McClanahan. Others are, of course, welcome to participate.
>
> Votes, please?
