This is what I was alluding to earlier
//create a marshaller
JAXBContext jc = JAXBContext.newInstance( "com.acme.foo" );
Marshaller m = jc.createMarshaller();
//create a new document
DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
dbf.setNamespaceAware(true);
DocumentBuilder db = dbf.newDocumentBuilder();
Document doc = db.newDocument();
//obj is the jaxb object
m.marshal( obj, doc );
Node nod = doc.getDocumentElement() ;
//apply the xpath on the node
Document doc = nod.getOwnerDocument() ;
XPathEvaluator evaluator = new XPathEvaluatorImpl( document ) ;
Element nsRoot = document.getDocumentElement() ;
XPathNSResolver resolver = evaluator.createNSResolver( nsRoot ) ;
XPathResult result = (XPathResult)evaluator.evaluate( "normalize-space(" + xpath + ")", document, resolver, XPathResult.STRING_TYPE, null ) ;
Note that all APIs used are standardized and portable.
