Kapil, You don't need to create a new cursor, if the item your cursor points to has a name (i.e. element/attribute/pi) just call getName() on it. Check out the javadoc of XmlCursor http://xmlbeans.apache.org/docs/2.4.0/reference/org/apache/xmlbeans/XmlCursor.html and XmlObject http://xmlbeans.apache.org/docs/2.4.0/reference/org/apache/xmlbeans/XmlObject.html.
An XmlObject represents the xml instance of the schema type that is assigned to, that's why you see xml-fragment. Take a look at the save XmlOptions, saveOutter might be what you're looking for: http://xmlbeans.apache.org/docs/2.4.0/reference/org/apache/xmlbeans/XmlOptions.html#setSaveOuter().
