[jdom-interest] Another quick question re JDOM & XPATH

Just been pointed out to me that users are too lazy to search through 
XML text files using a text editor....so I may have to extend our swing 
log viewer thingy to cope with an XPATH to a problematic 
element/attribute. So Question is:

Mini-recap..

Program gets XMl & runs through it checking that values are acceptable 
(e.g. length of strings for inserting into a db). If it finds one (or 
more) which are not ok then it saves the doc & writes the XPATH(s) to 
the element(s) to a log.

Swing GUI loads log, finds XML doc, loads the doc & create a JDOM 
document from it. Can I then pass in the XPATH string & have JDOM find 
/return the relevant element (so I can show it in the GUI).

TIA

Adam
