* <p>Get a new <code>XPathFactory</code> instance using the specified object model.</p>
*
* <p>To find a <code>XPathFactory</code> object,
* this method looks the following places in the following order where "the class loader" refers to the context class loader:</p>
* <ol>
* <li>
* 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.
* </li>
* <li>
* ${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.
* </li>
* <li>
* The class loader is asked for service provider provider-configuration files matching <code>javax.xml.xpath.XPathFactory</code>
* 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:
* <pre>
* {@link #isObjectModelSupported(String objectModel)}
* </pre>
* The first service provider found in class loader order that supports the specified object model is returned.
* </li>
* <li>
* Platform default <code>XPathFactory</code> 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}.
* </li>
* </ol>
* <p>If everything fails, an <code>XPathFactoryConfigurationException</code> will be thrown.</p>
*
* <p>Tip for Trouble-shooting:</p>
* <p>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:</p>
* <pre>
* http\://java.sun.com/jaxp/xpath/dom=org.acme.DomXPathFactory
* </pre>
*
* @param uri Identifies the underlying object model.
* The specification only defines the URI {@link #DEFAULT_OBJECT_MODEL_URI},
* <code>http://java.sun.com/jaxp/xpath/dom</code> for the W3C DOM,
* the org.w3c.dom package, and implementations are free to introduce other URIs for other object models.
*
