RE: XMLBeans : How can I get a value and not an xml fragment?

[Radu Preotiuc-Pietro <ra...@oracle.com>]

Hello,

I don't think XMLBeans has what you want. How is your sort defined if one element has "12" as a String value and another has "12" as an integer? .getStringValue() gives you an uniform way of treating the contents as Strings, which you can always do, but if you want to treat the content as a typed value, you need to use XmlObject.schemaType() and the appropriate getter. Usually, working with Objects in the abstract is not very useful.
