xpath & Xerces

Using Xerces and Xalan;
    given a Document (i.e. DocumentImpl) and given a String containing
an XPath expression, I would like to apply the expression against the
document to obtain the NodeList that matchs the expression.  Is this
possible ?

Yes it is. We, at the ozone Database Project (www.ozone-db.org), are
using Xalans XPath implementation to query one or more Documents. You
will get a result of type XObject which encapsulates the possible
return value b/c it is possible to query strings or numbers as well as
Nodes in a NodeList.

Lars
