Hi all, I'm using xmlbeans-2.2.0 and saxonb8-6-1 and I'm trying to use the XmlObject.selectPath function. Here my xml document: <bs:bookstore xmlns:bs="http://www.bsource.ch/bs"> <book> <id>1</id> <author>author1</author> <title>title1</title> </book> <book> <id>2</id> <author>author2</author> <title>title2</title> </book> </bs:bookstore> generated using XmlCursor object in the following way: 1) in Bookstore constructor document = XmlObject.Factory.newInstance(); cursor = document.newCursor(); cursor.toNextToken(); cursor.beginElement("bookstore", namespace); 2) when I add a book to my bookstore object public void add(Book book) throws BookstoreException { if (book == null) throw new ... if (document == null) throw new ... id++; book.setId("" + id); cursor.beginElement("book"); cursor.insertElementWithText("id", book.getId()); cursor.insertElementWithText("author", book.getAuthor()); cursor.insertElementWithText("title", book.getTitle()); cursor.toNextToken(); } Now I'm trying to run the following piece of code: XmlObject[] elems = null; ... elems = document.selectPath("$this/bs:bookstore/book[author='author2']/author"); if (elems.length == 0) throw new BookstoreException("no result found for the given path expression"); but selectPath returns zero elems ! I've checked the xpath expression (/bs:bookstore/book[author='author2']/author) with XMLSpy against the same xml document and the xpath expression seems to be correct ... so I don't understand because selectPath fails to return the results. Could you give me please some hints on that ? Regards Patrizio
