I would say that that is the expected behavior.
XMLBeans is schema-aware. 
XPath is not. XPath operates on what is in your xml document, and if the
attribute
is not there, it won't find it.

Subject: Querying Default values using XPath


Hi,

Our XSDs contain numerous instances of declared default values for
attributes. E.g.

<xs:attribute name="test" type="boolean" default="true" />

In cases where the attributes are not present in the Xml document,
querying
the attribute value via the generated XmlBeans accessor methods returns
the
default value as expected.

However, when selecting the same attribute with an XPath expression
using
the selectPath method (as we need to do, upon occasion), an empty array
is
returned.

Are we doing something wrong, or is this a deficiency in the XPath
support?

Thanks,
Coram Bryant
