Isn't something like this the JSTL equivalent of your code example: <x:parse xml="${param.xmlDocument}" var="xmlDoc"/> <x:set var="stuff" select="$xmlDoc//packet/param"/>
If you're really planning on iterating over each of the nodes: <x:forEach var="item" select="$xmlDoc//packet/param"> ... </x:forEach> Otherwise, if you really need to use a filter, you have to create an instance and store it as a scoped attribute. It's probably better practice to do this in a servlet (or action if you're using a framework like Struts) that operates on the request before forwarding to the JSP: XMLReader parser = XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader(); MyXPathFilter filter = new MyXPathFilter("//packet/param"); filter.setParent(parser); request.setAttribute("filter", filter); // forward to JSP If you need an implementation of an XPath XMLFilter (and since it sounds like you use JDOM), it looks like org.jdom.contrib.input.scanner.ElementScanner might work, but I've never used it.
