No. XMLUnit will pick whatever XPathFactory returns and fall back to SimpleXpathEngine pre-JAXP-1.3. I don't think there is a system property to choose a factory or is there? > It would be nice to be able to specify either JAXEN, XALAN, or > SAXON's xpath engines.

The primary use case is that you want to verify a piece of XML by testing the results of some given XPath expressions. What you describe is testing an XPath expression by applying it to a given document. So in your case the expression and not the document would be under test, right? I can see how being able to pick a XPath implementation might be useful here, agreed. I'll look into it. > Also, there was mention of schema validation.

Validating the instance, though I must admit that I'm not sure what you mean by validating the Schema itself. <http://xmlunit.sourceforge.net/userguide/html/ar01s04.html#XML%20Schema%20Validation> Stefan ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
