Re: Getting a node by its XPath

Hi Bader.

The SVG 1.2 draft indicates that DOM Level 3 XPath support will be
required for version="1.2" documents.  Batik has this implemented, so if
you don't mind it being Batik specific, you can use that.  Though since
you mention DOM4J, I guess you want to use it from Java anyway.

The org.apache.batik.dom.AbstractDocument class implements the
XPathEvaluator interface described here:

  http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/NOTE-DOM-Level-3-XPath-20040226/xpath.html

You can cast your Document to an org.w3c.dom.xpath.XPathEvaluator object
to use these methods.
