If I knew the first thing about most of the issues, I'd be more help. XMLBeans has helped me learn a few things about XML and schemas in general. Most of our issues are "high level"; i.e., not just minor bug fixes. For those interested:
- Documentation on getting XMLBeans to run on the NetBeans platform and/or an OSGi container would be helpful. With JARs in different modules, XMLBeans can't find dependent libraries (i.e., finding Saxon to do XPath queries). - XMLBeans is advertised as DOM Level 2 compliant, but that doesn't seem to include the DOM Level 2 event model. In the grand scheme of things, there's no way I'm aware of to listen for add/edit/remove events in XMLBeans. We've ended up writing our own and firing the events as needed. - XML Digital Signatures requires that ID attributes be identified as xs:ID attributes in the schema. XMLBeans' DOM doesn't support this as it's a DOM Level 3 feature. Digitally signing documents requires us to reparse the document as DOM. If I had the ability to address some of these issues or even provide guidance, I'd do so. My knowledge to date is that of an end user; I understand the problem, but not a path to the solution.
