/**
* Get a new XPathFactory instance using the specified object model.
*
* To find a XPathFactory object,
* this method looks the following places in the following order where "the class loader" refers to the context class loader:
*
* -
* If the system property {@link #DEFAULT_PROPERTY_NAME} + ":uri" is present,
* where uri is the parameter to this method, then its value is read as a class name.
* The method will try to create a new instance of this class by using the class loader,
* and returns it if it is successfully created.
*
* -
* ${java.home}/lib/jaxp.properties is read and the value associated with the key being the system property above is looked for.
* If present, the value is processed just like above.
*
* -
* The class loader is asked for service provider provider-configuration files matching
javax.xml.xpath.XPathFactory
* in the resource directory META-INF/services.
* See the JAR File Specification for file format and parsing rules.
* Each potential service provider is required to implement the method:
*
* {@link #isObjectModelSupported(String objectModel)}
*
* The first service provider found in class loader order that supports the specified object model is returned.
*
* -
* Platform default
XPathFactory is located in a platform specific way.
* There must be a platform default XPathFactory for the W3C DOM, i.e. {@link #DEFAULT_OBJECT_MODEL_URI}.
*
*
* If everything fails, an XPathFactoryConfigurationException will be thrown.
*
* Tip for Trouble-shooting:
* See {@link java.util.Properties#load(java.io.InputStream)} for exactly how a property file is parsed.
* In particular, colons ':' need to be escaped in a property file, so make sure the URIs are properly escaped in it.
* For example:
*
* http\://java.sun.com/jaxp/xpath/dom=org.acme.DomXPathFactory
*
*
* @param uri Identifies the underlying object model.
* The specification only defines the URI {@link #DEFAULT_OBJECT_MODEL_URI},
* http://java.sun.com/jaxp/xpath/dom for the W3C DOM,
* the org.w3c.dom package, and implementations are free to introduce other URIs for other object models.
*
* @return Instance of an XPathFactory.
*
* @throws XPathFactoryConfigurationException If the specified object model is unavailable.
* @throws NullPointerException If uri is null.
