HasXPath broken with Matcher-less matches

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I am using org.apache.xpath.jaxp.XPath (looks like from Xerces).

my code:
assertThat( document, hasXPath("/root/a1"))

assuming that I have a document element of root and a child of that a1, I
expect that to work.

The problem is that you use String as the return type and (at least for me)
it returns "" if it hasn't any content(which happens after you
"appendNode()").  For the String return type, it returns "" if the path is
there, but the content is empty AND if the path doesn't exist.

A boolean return type returns true, that the path indeed exists.  This is
the behavior that I would expect when not giving a value for it to match.

As a side note, before looking at the code, I expected to make value
comparisons like so: "/root/a1[text()='blah']"

Thanks.

I apologize for submitting this.  It has been addressed in 1.2.  I actually 
looked at
the code, but I missed the NODE return type change on the factory.

hasXPath now works as expected.

No problem.
