I would say that that is the expected behavior. XMLBeans is schema-aware. XPath is not. XPath operates on what is in your xml document, and if the attribute is not there, it won't find it. - Wing Yew
-----Original Message----- From: cbryant [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 29, 2006 4:52 PM To: user@xmlbeans.apache.org Subject: Querying Default values using XPath Hi, Our XSDs contain numerous instances of declared default values for attributes. E.g. <xs:attribute name="test" type="boolean" default="true" /> In cases where the attributes are not present in the Xml document, querying the attribute value via the generated XmlBeans accessor methods returns the default value as expected. However, when selecting the same attribute with an XPath expression using the selectPath method (as we need to do, upon occasion), an empty array is returned. Are we doing something wrong, or is this a deficiency in the XPath support?
