XPath Libraries for Java

Does anyone here know of an XPath parser and solver for Java? I have an XML file I can parse, but now I wish to find a library that can solve the XPath expression, particularly the ones that are listed on the XForms Basic specifications. Any ideas? Thanks!!

Java 1.5 comes with a package called javax.xml.xpath where you'll fund relevant classes.IIRC there should be undocumented support for it in Java 1.4 as well...

Hi Wildfrog,Thanks for the info. However do these have interfaces for solving XPath expressions? or are they interfaces that warrant a developer to write the slover themselves, such as parsing the XPath expression themselves?
Thanks for replying!

The JRE (or JDK) is bundeled with a JAXP reference implementation (in 1.4 it was Apache Crimson/Xalan, in 1.5 it is Apache Xerces/Xalan). So you don't need 3. party libraries.One thing to notice is that there has been some changes in class/package names from 1.4 to 1.5 so you might experience some problems if you try to write code for both platforms.
