Xerces does not provide an XPath implementation (it implements only

Xalan provides an XPath 1.0 implementation and from the

from Xalan) implementation that is included with the JVM.

You are right, it is a Xalan derivative rather than a Xerces derivative providing the XPath implementation. The Java 5 runtime contains both.
