85     * this method looks the following places in the following order where "the class loader" refers to the context class loader:</p>
86     * <ol>
87     *   <li>
88     *     If the system property {@link #DEFAULT_PROPERTY_NAME} + ":uri" is present,
89     *     where uri is the parameter to this method, then its value is read as a class name.
90     *     The method will try to create a new instance of this class by using the class loader,
91     *     and returns it if it is successfully created.
92     *   </li>
93     *   <li>
94     *     ${java.home}/lib/jaxp.properties is read and the value associated with the key being the system property above is looked for.
95     *     If present, the value is processed just like above.
96     *   </li>
97     *   <li>
98     *     The class loader is asked for service provider provider-configuration files matching <code>javax.xml.xpath.XPathFactory</code>
99     *     in the resource directory META-INF/services.
100     *     See the JAR File Specification for file format and parsing rules.
101     *     Each potential service provider is required to implement the method:
102     *     <pre>
103     *       {@link #isObjectModelSupported(String objectModel)}
104     *     </pre>
105     *     The first service provider found in class loader order that supports the specified object model is returned.
106     *   </li>
107     *   <li>
108     *     Platform default <code>XPathFactory</code> is located in a platform specific way.
109     *     There must be a platform default XPathFactory for the W3C DOM, i.e. {@link #DEFAULT_OBJECT_MODEL_URI}.
110     *   </li>
111     * </ol>
112     * <p>If everything fails, an <code>XPathFactoryConfigurationException</code> will be thrown.</p>
113     *
114     * <p>Tip for Trouble-shooting:</p>
115     * <p>See {@link java.util.Properties#load(java.io.InputStream)} for exactly how a property file is parsed.
116     * In particular, colons ':' need to be escaped in a property file, so make sure the URIs are properly escaped in it.
117     * For example:</p>
118     * <pre>
119     *   http\://java.sun.com/jaxp/xpath/dom=org.acme.DomXPathFactory
120     * </pre>
121     *
122     * @param uri Identifies the underlying object model.
123     *   The specification only defines the URI {@link #DEFAULT_OBJECT_MODEL_URI},
124     *   <code>http://java.sun.com/jaxp/xpath/dom</code> for the W3C DOM,
125     *   the org.w3c.dom package, and implementations are free to introduce other URIs for other object models.
126     *
127     * @return Instance of an <code>XPathFactory</code>.
128     *
129     * @throws XPathFactoryConfigurationException If the specified object model is unavailable.
130     * @throws NullPointerException If <code>uri</code> is <code>null</code>.
