XMLBeans and SelectPath from XQueryXPath samples, does it work ?

[Pa...@b-source.ch]

Hi all,

I'm using xmlbeans-2.2.0 and saxonb8-6-1 and I'm trying to run the
provided SelectPath example from  XQueryXPath samples 
(I'm interested mainly on XmlObject.selectPath usage).

>From the XQueryXPath class I've commented out all calls to the ExecQuery
class and I've left only the below calls:

        // Execute the XPath samples.
        SelectPath xpathSample = new SelectPath();
        
        System.out.println("Running SelectPath.updateWorkPhone \n");
        boolean xpWorkPhoneSuccessful =
xpathSample.updateWorkPhone(xml);
        
        System.out.println("Running SelectPath.collectNames \n");
        boolean xpCollectNames = xpathSample.collectNames(xml);

I put in the classpath the below jars:

 - jsr173_1.0_api.jar
 - saxon8.jar
 - schemas.jar
 - xbean.jar
 - xbean_xpath.jar

but when I run XQueryXPathTest the result is empty ... I don't see the
part related to

            System.out.println("\nXML as updated by updateWorkPhone
method (each work \n" +
                    "phone number has been changed to the same number):
\n\n"
                    + empDoc.toString() + "\n");

so I think that empDoc.selectPath fails on the given pathExpression.

        String pathExpression =
"$this/xq:employees/xq:employee/xq:phone[@location='work']";

A second question, why the '$this' part is needed ?
If I try to remove it, I got the error:

Running SelectPath.updateWorkPhone
java.lang.RuntimeException: net.sf.saxon.trans.DynamicError: Finding
root of tree: the context item is undefined

If I run XQueryXPathTest with the original XQueryXPath class (that is
with all the original calls to the ExecQuery class) the error is:

Running ExecQuery.selectEmpsByStateCursor

Could you help me to understand where is the problem ?
