Yes, I did not phase that as well as I could have. 

My process receives an xml doc, and uses a xpath expression i.e. x/y/z[2] to
designate a node on which to perform a pagination operation.  I am
proceeding with a jaxp sax class that will walk through the doc and build
the hierarchal node name in order to test against the xpath expression.  

A bit tedious.  If there were an easier, more efficient process I like to
know about it.

Thanks

John

I'm not certain I understand the question, but his might help:

	http://dom4j.org/
		-- Has an ElementHandler interface for processing
		   sub-trees in a sax-like manner.  Integrate jaxen.

	http://jaxen.org/
		-- An xpath engine.  Integrated into dom4j, and compatible
		   with jdom, dom, exml, and dom4j.
