ABSTRACT
Jaxen is of interest not just because it makes it easy to add XPath
evaluation to Java applications but also because it's one of the most
elegant and extensible frameworks that I've come across. It took just
one day to create a custom adapter that allowed me to use it with a
highly specialized document object model.
The presentation will take about an hour; the topic will be
illustrated by a case study taken from a current Banking project.
SPEAKER
Romilly Cocking is an independent consultant and trainer in

companies to deploy IT effectively since 1970. He is one of the
pioneers of object technology in the UK.
