I must have missed it but I feel like my searching has been complete.  I 
am looking for a way, using one of the more popular parsers idealy 
Xerces, to if given a node in a document return the XPath string 
representation of that node.  Something like the following would be nice

public static String getXPath(Document doc, Node node)
   
    where node is the node that I want the XPath expression on and doc 
is the document for which this node exist.  

If this does not exist in any popular parsers than has anyone created 
this piece of code for which I could have?

Thanks
