This seems to be a problem brought about by changes to both JDOM and Jaxen
since the last last beta versions. The Jaxen beta 8 uses a more recent build
of JDOM than JDOM beta 7, which is the latest milestone drop. Because of
this, it is now using JDOM's revamped 'Text' node. This is what happens with
three different versions of Jaxen/JDOM with your example ('/root/x/text()'):Jaxen beta 7 + JDOM beta 8: A List with one String - 'my text' Jaxen beta 8 + JDOM beta 8: A List with no items. Jaxen beta 8 + JDOM post-beta 8: A List with one Text node - 'my text' The 'jdom.jar' that came with Jaxen beta 8 should return a List of Text nodes. Question: Why the change from returning a list of Strings to a list of Text nodes? Incidentally, this is also the reason that Morten Vinje was unable to get Jaxen to compile without changing the 'Text.getText()' method calls to 'Text.getValue()' - sometime after the last JDOM beta, they have changed Text, removeing the 'getValue()' method and adding a couple of 'getText()' methods - getText(), getTextTrim() and getTextNormalize(). If you complie with the jdom.jar from Jaxen beta 8's /lib directory, it should work.
