Class JavaBeanXPath

public class JavaBeanXPath extends BaseXPath

An XPath implementation for JavaBeans.

This is the main entry point for matching an XPath against a JavaBean tree. You create a compiled XPath object, then match it against one or more context nodes using the JavaBeanXPath method, as in the following example:

 Node node = ...;
 XPath path = new JavaBeanXPath("a/b/c");
 List results = path.selectNodes(node);
