public class Compiler

extends OpMap

An instance of this class compiles an XPath string expression into a Expression object. This class compiles the string into a sequence of operation codes (op map) and then builds from that into an Expression tree.

This class is based on an implementation from the Apache XML Project. In future releases the XML parser, XSLT processor, and associated classes will likely be updated to be based on a later version of the Apache implementations. Since Apache does not guarantee backwards compatibility between versions of their software, we cannot guarantee backwards compatibility of any of the classes contained in the weblogic.apache package or sub-packages.
