[Wtp-wst-dev] WTP DOM and PsychoPath XPath 2.0

[David Carver <d_a_carver@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've have been doing some experimentation with using the WTP DOM and 
feeding that into the wst.xsl's Xpath 2.0 processor, and the results are 
pretty good.   I've submitted a patch to wst.xml to address a couple of 
DOM Level 3 methods that we need in order to use the WTP DOM in 
Psychopath.   I've also made a couple of tweaks that allows the 
processor to run with out a DOM that implements a PSVI.   With these 
changes in place a developer can pass in a WTP DOM and PsychoPath will 
happily process the XPath expression against it.

This is important, so that the current XSL's XPath View can add the 
XPath 2.0 support.

Anyways, I've copied a select number of the existing XPath 2.0 tests and 
set them up in a separate test suite to use the WTP DOM as input.  There 
are about 73 tests, mostly dealing with walking the DOM itself to select 
the various nodes.   Current tests are checked in, but aren't part of 
the build pending the WTP DOM patch being applied.

You can find the patch on bug 295127.
