Description

I try and run this:

Document.selectPath("//event-ref");

for this xml:

...
<event-refs>
<event-ref id=".."/>
</event-refs>

and get this trace:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Path too complex for xmlbeans: //event-ref
at org.apache.xmlbeans.impl.newstore2.Path.getCompiledPath(Path.java:156)

I have xbean_xpath.jar (2.0 beta 1), saxon8-xpath.jar, and xbean.jar on my classpath. It doesn't even look like it's using the saxon xpath api at all. What could be the problem?
