Never did resolve the issues with the XMLBeans jar, however in the time since I started this thread (very long ago) the Geronimo folks wrote their own copy of the StAX API [1][2] from scratch. If there are no objections ( lazy consensus) I plan to include these source files on the trunk and create a branch for maintaining the 1.3 APIs on Friday.
Thanks.
