Do you have saxon8.jar in your classpath when executing these xpath statements? It doesn't look like thats the case. The way XMLBeans handles xpath is to look to see if it can handle the statement internally, and then it looks for available engines on the classpath. It appears to fail when trying to find Saxon. If you don't think this is the case, can you post the whole stacktrace? There is a blurb about Saxon on the website under the 2.3 release news http://xmlbeans.apache.org/
