Anthony,
You'll need to navigate the SchemaTypeSystem yourself. XMLBeans doesn't include such an utility a this moment. Also, if you know the document class, there is a static field an all the generated interfaces called type that points to its corresponding SchemaType, you can use that one as the stating point of the "path" navigation.

Given a schema document and the xpath of an element in a 'not yet created' xml document that is an instance of the schema, can i get the corresponding schema type of that element somehow? I know that if the XmlObject already exists, I can just find the XmlObject using selectPath and then get the schemaType from the XmlObject, but what can i do if the XmlObject doesn't exist and I only have an xpath? Is this possible?
