/**
 * <p>
 * A specialized implementation of the {@code ExpressionEngine} interface that
 * is able to evaluate XPATH expressions.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * This class makes use of <a href="http://commons.apache.org/jxpath/"> Commons
 * JXPath</a> for handling XPath expressions and mapping them to the nodes of a
 * hierarchical configuration. This makes the rich and powerful XPATH syntax
 * available for accessing properties from a configuration object.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * For selecting properties arbitrary XPATH expressions can be used, which
 * select single or multiple configuration nodes. The associated
 * {@code Configuration} instance will directly pass the specified property keys
 * into this engine. If a key is not syntactically correct, an exception will be
 * thrown.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * For adding new properties, this expression engine uses a specific syntax: the
 * &quot;key&quot; of a new property must consist of two parts that are
 * separated by whitespace:
 * </p>
 * <ol>
 * <li>An XPATH expression selecting a single node, to which the new element(s)
 * are to be added. This can be an arbitrary complex expression, but it must
 * select exactly one node, otherwise an exception will be thrown.</li>
 * <li>The name of the new element(s) to be added below this parent node. Here
 * either a single node name or a complete path of nodes (separated by the
 * &quot;/&quot; character or &quot;@&quot; for an attribute) can be specified.</li>
 * </ol>
 * <p>
 * Some examples for valid keys that can be passed into the configuration's
 * {@code addProperty()} method follow:
 * </p>
 *
 * <pre>
 * &quot;/tables/table[1] type&quot;
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>
 * This will add a new {@code type} node as a child of the first {@code table}
 * element.
 * </p>
 *
 * <pre>
 * &quot;/tables/table[1] @type&quot;
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>
 * Similar to the example above, but this time a new attribute named
 * {@code type} will be added to the first {@code table} element.
 * </p>
 *
 * <pre>
 * &quot;/tables table/fields/field/name&quot;
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>
 * This example shows how a complex path can be added. Parent node is the
 * {@code tables} element. Here a new branch consisting of the nodes
 * {@code table}, {@code fields}, {@code field}, and {@code name} will be added.
 * </p>
 *
 * <pre>
 * &quot;/tables table/fields/field@type&quot;
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>
 * This is similar to the last example, but in this case a complex path ending
 * with an attribute is defined.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * <strong>Note:</strong> This extended syntax for adding properties only works
 * with the {@code addProperty()} method. {@code setProperty()} does not support
 * creating new nodes this way.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * From version 1.7 on, it is possible to use regular keys in calls to
 * {@code addProperty()} (i.e. keys that do not have to contain a whitespace as
 * delimiter). In this case the key is evaluated, and the biggest part pointing
 * to an existing node is determined. The remaining part is then added as new
 * path. As an example consider the key
 * </p>
 *
 * <pre>
 * &quot;tables/table[last()]/fields/field/name&quot;
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>
 * If the key does not point to an existing node, the engine will check the
 * paths {@code "tables/table[last()]/fields/field"},
 * {@code "tables/table[last()]/fields"}, {@code "tables/table[last()]"}, and so
 * on, until a key is found which points to a node. Let's assume that the last
 * key listed above can be resolved in this way. Then from this key the
 * following key is derived: {@code "tables/table[last()] fields/field/name"} by
 * appending the remaining part after a whitespace. This key can now be
 * processed using the original algorithm. Keys of this form can also be used
 * with the {@code setProperty()} method. However, it is still recommended to
 * use the old format because it makes explicit at which position new nodes
 * should be added. For keys without a whitespace delimiter there may be
 * ambiguities.
 * </p>
