How to get a NodeList via a XPath like String?

[Jan <vi...@gmx.de>]

Is there a way to get a NodeList containing all nodes of a specified Document that match (XPath) to an expression string like
"/mux/content//sidebox" or "/mux/content[@lang = 'us-en']//sidebox[1]" etc.?

Thanks,
Jan.

Jan,
Are you looking for something like

"/mux/content[@lang='us-en' or not(@lang)]//sidebox[1]"

You may want to have a look at the org.apache.xpath package that is 
included with Xalan. Check out the XpathAPI class. Xalan is also 
included with cocoon2.
