Re: xpath (simple) rewriting

[Scott_Boag]

We are working on this kind of thing.  Take a look at the WalkerFactory in
the org.apache.xpath.axes package, if you like.  But I would wait a while
until we get the Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) work done that we are just
starting.

Dear all,

Can I use anything in org.apache.xpath to get some simplification of simple
xpath expressions? Expression evaluation is not an issue.

i.e.

/A/C | /A/C/descendant::C

would rewrite to

/A/descendant::C
