XPath 2.0 Path

[Yana Kadiyska <yk...@bea.com>]

 

Hi all, 

 

Attached is a patch that hooks up Saxon (an XPath2.0 and XQuery engine)
to XmlBeans. The patch also contains changes that enable automatic
download of saxon8.1.1.

 

Thanks to everyone who had comments and suggestions.

I tried this patch and it seems to work. However, unless I'm missing 
something obvious, the XmlObject and XmlCursor API's for evaluating 
xpath and xquery expressions are too limited to utilize the full 
capabilities of the underlying XQuery/XPath engine. Specifically, there 
are no interfaces for:

1) Declaring namespace prefixes
2) Adding xpath extension functions
3) Declaring xpath variables

(1) through (3) above are very easy to do when using Saxon standalone, 
but unfortunately impossible when used in conjunction with XmlBeans.

Would it make sense to add additional methods to the XmlOptions class to 
support the above, or do you have other ideas?

Thanks and regards,

Chris
