JXpath for DOM returning DOM objects?

Is it possible to use this API to access DOM objects (Node, Attr, Element etc)?

Yes, it is, but you will have to use an internal API.

First, acquire a pointer:

    Pointer pointer = context.getPointer(xpath);
or
    Iterator iter = context.iteratePointers(xpath);

Then cast (each) pointer to NodePointer.

Finally, call "getNodeValue()" on the pointer.

The rationale for this method not being on the public interface is to hide
differences between DOM, JDOM and other XML parse trees.

I hope this helps.
