I've begun work on the jaxen section of Processing XML with Java, http://www.cafeconleche.org/books/xmljava/
Along the way I'll probably note a few things. First off the bat, consider these three methods in org.jaxen.BaseXPath: public String <http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.3/docs/api/java/lang/String.html> *valueOf*(Object <http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.3/docs/api/java/lang/Object.html> context) throws JaxenException <cid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> public boolean *booleanValueOf*(Object <http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.3/docs/api/java/lang/Object.html> context) throws JaxenException <cid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> public Number <http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.3/docs/api/java/lang/Number.html> *numberValueOf*(Object <http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.3/docs/api/java/lang/Object.html> context) throws JaxenException <cid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Their names are inconsistent. I suggest the first be renamed stringValueOf(). This is also more consistent with the XPath spec which generally refers to the "string-value" of a node, rather than just the value of a node. The latter is perhaps the more common expression in XSLT circles, but here string-value is clearly correct.. -- +-----------------------+------------------------+-------------------+ | Elliotte Rusty Harold | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Writer/Programmer | +-----------------------+------------------------+-------------------+ | The XML Bible, 2nd Edition (IDG Books, 2001) | | http://www.cafeconleche.org/books/bible2/ | | http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=0764547607/cafeaulaitA/ | +----------------------------------+---------------------------------+ | Read Cafe au Lait for Java News: http://www.cafeaulait.org/ | | Read Cafe con Leche for XML News: http://www.cafeconleche.org/ | +----------------------------------+---------------------------------+
