[jira] [Commented] (XMLBEANS-199) Make XmlObject.changeType Work For non-document Types

["Paul Galbraith (Commented) (JIRA)" <xm...@xml.apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XMLBEANS-199?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13147119#comment-13147119 ] 

Paul Galbraith commented on XMLBEANS-199:
-----------------------------------------

And further to what I'm trying to do (and I think what the author is trying to do as well), can query and selectPath be modified to return the correctly typed object, even when the result is surrounded by an unkown container document?

<unkownEnvelope>
   <unknown>
      <knownSchemaElement>
...

I want be able to write this java code.  The current workaround with XmlCursor is a little painful, and seems uneccesary.

   XmlObject envelope = XmlObject.Factory.parse(document);
   KnownSchemaElement myElement = (KnownSchemaElement) envelope.selectPath("unknownEvelope/unkown/knownSchemaElement")[0];

> Currently, XmlObject.changeType only works if the object it is performed on is a document type.  Please make it work for non-document types too.
