I haven't tried, but do you have problems with
Class.forName(someRootAsString).newInstance() ?
The only thing I can think of that might cause problems would be in
the lookup of the xsbs.
Can you update teh list with what issues you have?
Thanks,

Hmm, that would explain it, indeed.
What problems are you seeing when you try the code you list below?

No exactly. I think i have to be more clear (always a challenge but here it
goes .. )
I'v got the big jar that is produced when you run scomp on an xsd.
When using the code in a normal fashion one would just get an object, say
SomeRoot, and use the SomeRootDocument.Factory.someMethod()
to accomplish whatever.
Now, what i want to do is slightly different.
Rather than using SomeDocumentRootDocument explicitly i am looking for a way
to use the Class.forName(someRootAsString).newInstance()
method to get my hands on an xmlbeans document that i specify via a string.
This way i don't have to hardcode the construction of the xml but i could
supply the structure via simple strings, read via a small input file.
If this is possible one can construct any xml (sub)doc (based on the overall
xsd) without having to code for it.
Does this make sense?

Since this suggests the string being an xml element i have not because i
would be looking for a className (the string thereof) to be handed of and
return with an instance of type XmlObject.
Basically i don't know where the xml is going to start so i just want to
supply a string (name of the element to denote as root of the document to be
build), create the corresponding document and build the rest of the xml-doc
in the same fashion.
