Re: selectPath returning incorrect results

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

Unfortunately, I think this is a bug in the XMLBeans XPath engine.

What I can recommend is using Saxon (make sure it's 8.8) to execute
XPath to work around this.

Also, make sure to open a JIRA issue if you have an account or let me
know and I can open one for you.
