selectSingleNode and selectNodes in the COM interface

[Chris Greening <ch...@actix.com>]

I know this has been asked before. But is anyone looking at adding an
implementation for these two functions to the COM wrapper?

If it's not currently being looked at then I wouldn't mind spending some
time looking at what needs to be done.

Regards
Chris.

Hi Chris,
the issue is that the two methods accept an arbitrary XPath syntax, while 
Xerces has just the minimal XPath support that XMLSchema uses to identify 
duplicate nodes (maybe this is what you need...)
The only solution I see would be to build xml4com against both Xerces and 
Pathan (an open source XPath engine - see 
http://software.decisionsoft.com/pathanIntro.html). Even if this is more a 
hack, as Pathan should be used to implement the DOMDocument::evaluate 
method from DOML3...

BTW, who else is using the COM wrapper? Given the number of bugs that have 
been entered against it, I always thought there are very few users.
