parse xml document with xpath

807606Mar 12 2007 — edited Mar 15 2007

I would like to parse an xml document using xpath, see:
http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2005/01/12/xpath.html

however, in the documentation (in the link above), it states that I need J2SE 5.0.
Currently, I have:
$ java -version
java version "1.5.0_11"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_11-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_11-b03, mixed mode, sharing)

Does that mean that I really have to install J2SE 5.0 in order to use J2SE 5.0's XPath support? Does anybody know anything about getting started with XPath, and whether I can just use my existing version of Java? I've never used XPath.
For more documentation, one can view:

Thank you.
