I am not sure. You can file an issue for that if you'd like. From what I understood reading some parts of the code (e.g. ValueUtils#setValue) this is by design. You are using a List, so that worked in your case. But should you had another collection, I believe you would get a UnsupportedOperationException. There may be other approaches to solving this issue that I am not aware of. But in case you build a good argument in your issue in JIRA, it may be implemented in jxpath.

That way, /numbers[1] calls List#set(0, "123") with no > exceptions. Ok. Does it seem like mitigating this might be a reasonable enhancement for JXPath? I don't know yet how it would work, but I see it as a flag that when on, would simply deal with this by extending the list automatically. > ________________________________ > From: "KARR, DAVID" <dk0...@att.com> > To: Commons Users List <user@commons.apache.org>; Bruno P.
