Subject: [jdom-interest] How to optimize xpath in jdom

Hello,

I am using Xpath available in jdom. The xml file is of 9MB size. It is taking a lot of time to query a simple xpath like:

/Root/Parent/Child[name="abc"]/GrandChild

I am trying to get the value of the "GrandChild" element in the following way:
((Element)org.jdom.xpath.XPath.selectSingleNode(xml_Document, xpath_expression)).getValue();

There are many "Child" elements in my huge xml file of 9MB size. Please let me know to optimize the xpath expression or any other workarounds.

Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Chandra
