| <h3> |
| 1. INTRODUCTION</h3> |
| The <i>JXPath</i> Component contains a set of Java classes that provide |
| static utility methods useful in manipulating Java classes that conform |
| to the JavaBeans Specification naming patterns for bean properties in a |
| dynamic fashion using the XPath syntax. It also supports Java collections, |
| objects with Dynamic Properties (like Map, ServletContext etc) and mechanism |
| for adding support for additional object models. |
| <p>An innovative and unique feature of this component is the unification |
| of reference syntax between DOM and Java. |
