             Summary: Use javax.xml.xpath interfaces for XPath support
                 Key: DERBY-6624
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-6624
             Project: Derby
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: SQL
    Affects Versions: 10.11.0.0
            Reporter: Knut Anders Hatlen
            Assignee: Knut Anders Hatlen
            Priority: Minor


Currently, Derby uses the interfaces in the org.w3c.dom.xpath package to implement XPath support. That package is not part of the Java SE specification. Even though the package is included as an internal API in some of the major Java runtimes, using the standard javax.xml.xpath package instead would be better. It would be more portable, and less likely to break in the future if JVM vendors remove the internal API.
