Hi once again, The patch has been updated, since the original had a problem with the parent axis. The current patch now passes all the existing Jaxen test cases, and is factored a wee bit better for clarity.
The patch is in the Jaxen patch manager at: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=402188&group_id=31447&func=browse Cheers, Nicholas. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, November 07, 2001 2:38 PM Subject: [Jaxen] [Patch] Entity reference support for DOM Navigator > > Hi all, > > Please find in the Jaxen patch manager a patch that allows the > org.jaxen.dom.DocumentNavigator class to handle entity references. > > Entity references are tricky to deal with using the W3C DOM model, since > they involve a degress of traversing up and down when looking for nodes > that the XPath specification sees as being at the same depth in the tree. > > As a consequence the code is not as clean as the original DOM > implementation.
