----------------------------------------------
PJ,
Thanks so much for the quick reply. I had no idea that xmlbeans supported
other xpath implementations. This is very helpful and will improve some
greenfield development we are doing that relies on xmlbeans. Might I suggest
that you document this capability here:
[https://xmlbeans.apache.org/docs/3.0.0/guide/conSelectingXMLwithXQueryPathXPath.html]
and/or here: [https://xmlbeans.apache.org/documentation/conInstallGuide.html].
After reading the current documentation around xpath, I was under the
impression that I had to use saxon.
[Side note: in case you're curious, we selected xmlbeans because of it's very
capable SchemaTypeSystem. As far as I can tell it is the best library in the
java space for discovering schema information]
> Support for newer versions of Saxon as an XPath engine

> It is still a limitation of using old version of Saxon to achieve xpath
