The toString() method on Expression attempts to give an approximation to the original expression which will often be good enough for diagnostics, but there is no guarantee that it will always give a result that is valid XPath syntax. One of the problems of course is namespace context.

Thanks Michael, Basically what I want to do is refactor the names of arbitrary elements/attributes that are referenced in an xpath-expression (in NameTests, etc), so I was thinking in the line of: 1) parse the xpath into an Expression using an empty NamePool 2) find the QName(s) i need to change in the populated NamePool and change them (maybe I'll need to create my own namepool for making this possible) 3) serialize the Expression back -> the new expression has the updated names.. it's a bit of a hack.. the serialization in (3) needs to generate an xpath-expression equivalent to the orginial one (except for the changed names of course).. any ideas would be really helpful, thanks for your advice already.. regards! /Ole eviware.com
