Description

It is still a limitation of using old version of Saxon to achieve xpath search in XmlBeans. It would be nice to be able to use Saxon HE with XmlBeans. Older versions of saxon (including early versions of HE prior to 9.5) have problems with new versions of java (getting error /lib/saxon9-xpath.jar/META-INF/services/javax.xml.xpath.XPathFactory:2: Illegal configuration-file syntax at java.xml/javax.xml.xpath.XPathFactory.newInstance(XPathFactory.java:119)).
