Setting a custom XPathFactory using System Property

Available as of Camel 2.3

Camel now supports reading the JVM system property javax.xml.xpath.XPathFactory that can be used to set a custom XPathFactory to use.

This unit test shows how this can be done to use Saxon instead:

{snippet:id=e4|lang=java|url=camel/trunk/components/camel-saxon/src/test/java/org/apache/camel/builder/saxon/XPathTest.java}

Camel will log at INFO level if it uses a non default XPathFactory such as:

XPathBuilder  INFO  Using system property javax.xml.xpath.XPathFactory:http://saxon.sf.net/jaxp/xpath/om with value: net.sf.saxon.xpath.XPathFactoryImpl when creating XPathFactory

Dependencies

The XPath language is part of camel-core.
