Actually, Let me rephrase the question: if I am reading in a bunch of documents that I am trying to parse. Not all of them will have the same data fields filled in. How will I be able to still parse without getting the nullpointer exception if a particular field is blank?

Hello, as far as I can see you schema doesn't define a namespace, so how should XMLBeans know which schema to use? Try to specifiy a namespace or use the special 'noNamespace' namespace in your XML instance. Robin. Green, Jason M. wrote: > yana, > let me clarify.
