Sebastien,
It is possible, please check the XmlCursor interface. On the xmlbeans object you have the attributes, call: XmlCursor xc = xobj.getCursor(); . Move the cursor around with xc.toFirstAttribute(); xc.toNextAttribute(); And get info on the current token, in your case the attribute: xc.getName xc.getTextValue, and when you're done call xc.dispose().

I have a simple question. I have a xsd standard (string..no complextype). I receive xml message that can contains extra attributes that are not in the xsd. With JAXB they are put into /** * Gets a map that contains attributes that aren't bound to any typed property on this class. * * <p> * the map is keyed by the name of the attribute and * the value is the string value of the attribute. * * the map returned by this method is live, and you can add new attribute * by updating the map directly. Because of this design, there's no setter. * * * @return * always non-null */ public Map<QName, String> getOtherAttributes() { return otherAttributes; } but is it possible to do something similar with xmlbeans ? It a showstopper if I can't do that. thanks -- ------------- A+ Sébastien. Vous pouvez me suivre sur Twitter / You can follow me on Twitter : http://twitter.com/survivant
