public abstract class XPathFactory extends Object
An XPathFactory instance can be used to create
XPath objects.
See newInstance(String uri) for lookup mechanism.
The XPathFactory class is not thread-safe. In other words,
it is the application's responsibility to ensure that at most
one thread is using a XPathFactory object at any
given moment. Implementations are encouraged to mark methods
as synchronized to protect themselves from broken clients.
XPathFactory is not re-entrant. While one of the
newInstance methods is being invoked, applications
may not attempt to recursively invoke a newInstance method,
even from the same thread.
