My guess is that you don't have the namespace declaration exactly correct.

Trying XQRL... Trying Saxon... FAILED on <my query string> at org.apache.xmlbeans.impl.store.Path.getCompiledPath(Path.java:131) at org.apache.xmlbeans.impl.store.Path.getCompiledPath(Path.java:91) at org.apache.xmlbeans.impl.store.Cursor._selectPath(Cursor.java:902) at org.apache.xmlbeans.impl.store.Cursor.selectPath(Cursor.java:2634) at org.apache.xmlbeans.impl.values.XmlObjectBase.selectPath(XmlObjectBase.j ava:431) at org.apache.xmlbeans.impl.values.XmlObjectBase.selectPath(XmlObjectBase.j ava:415) ... A typical query that fails may look like: String query = "declare namespace s='http://<my.name.space>;" + "$this/s:objects/s:object/s:id eq " + id; I use XML beans 2.2.0 and have tried saxon 8.6.1 and 8.8 with the same result. My classpath includes (in this order) saxon8.jar, saxon8-xpath.jar, xbean.jar and jsr173_1.0_api.jar. I see that many people have the same problem, but I have not seen a solution. I have limited experience with xpath, so the problem could be there, but I am really stuck. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
