Michael -- I'm working up a sample and some better docs for the <any> case, which there have been quite a few questions about. I think one of the biggest problems is that there isn't currently much that points an <any> user to the cursor with an example. There are examples with the cursor, but no links from the <any> context.
Coming shortly. Hope they will help.

- thanks a lot, Don!
- that got me over the hump..
- ..altho' I found a few other ref.s that were [more] helpful
- a comment or two on your Wiki page, then those ref.s
- :
- I know I came to this page outside of any context that might be assumed..
- (ieg: going thr' the tutorial)
- ..but for me, anyway, it would've been helpful to state what the problem is up front.
- (ie: "this is hard, bec. xmlBeans doesn't directly support _____")
- Some characters show up weird on my screen
- (Wds XP Pro, IE 6.0.2900...)
- :
![emacs!]()
![emacs!]()

- re: xmlBeans learning / tutorials in general:
- I tried to dutifully read what I was able to find..
- (in order to learn stuff relevant to my problem that - the preferred - way)
- ..but I didn't find anything starting from the top-level of the site
- If the wiki tutorial is different, it'd be good to advertize it somehow

- &
- http://xmlbeans.apache.org/docs/2.0.0/reference/org/apache/xmlbeans/XmlObject.html
- ...but even given all that, it was still very difficult to figure out what to do.
- It may be significantly due to my/our trying to get too much mileage out of xmlBeans w/o enf knowledge of xml in general.
- (altho I though I had a lot! ;-)

- Could someone please post some example code that shows how to actually
- do this (your "But using the lower interfaces XmlCursor or DOM, elements
- and attributes can be added, removed or modified, in the right place.")
- To get off the ground, suppose I have an XmlObject, A, that I want to
- ...
- in effect, .add() ... to another XmlObject, B.
- Looking through the available methods - for both XmlObject and XmlCursor
- - I didn't find anything at all promising..
- ..and trying to punt down to Node, I couldn't figure out how to get from
- the world of xmlBeans to the world of DOM.
- (or vice versa)
- How do people live w/o an ability to do this stuff?
- How is it that it doesn't come up so often that there's already info on
- your site on how to deal w/ it?
- (We were presented w/ a schema that calls for this; we can't change it.)
- (additionally: Is using <all> always/often a bad / suboptimal idea?)
- Thanks,
