Subject: [newby] problems with xpath statements

Hi,

I am having problems using saxon XPath statements

Can any shed some light

 

does the current version of saxon (8.5.1) work with xmlbeans 2.0.0 

I cannot get 8.1.1 (free version) or the 8.5.1 (free or commercial version) to operate

 

I need namespace support, I need to be able to execute queries in the form

declare namespace activity='http://www.ebizz-consulting.com/resources/schemas/java/com.ebzc.tools.xml.dom4j.documenttypes.activedocument.configuration.rulefactory.ActivityRules'; //activity:WorkflowRules

 

i get the following with 8.5.1 commercial version or the free version

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException:  Trying XBeans path engine... Trying Saxon...
