Saxon integration 2.4.0 uses saxon 9 and 2.5.0 uses SaxonB 8.6.1 .. what about the latest version of saxon 9.2 Help me sorting that out

Hi All,

  I using xmlbeans 2.4.0 with saxon 9.0 to do XPATH query like:

XmlObject[] elementAr = 
vpioDocument.getVpio().getPromotion().getBaseLayout().selectPath(PromoDocumentRepository.VP_NAMESPACE 
+ "$this/vp:page/vp:block[@id='" + blockId + 
"']/vp:regionBlock[not(@regionId) or @regionId = '" + regionId + "']");

Unfortunatly i got a NullPointerExceptino in Saxon and so far haven't 
found why on the web (If you have a clue go for it :-))

So to workaround the bug I checked to upgrade to 2.5.0 but the doc says:
file:///C:/java/xmlbeans-2.5.0/docs/guide/conSelectingXMLwithXQueryPathXPath.html

that it used an older version SaxonB 8.6.1. 

Can I use the latest Saxon 9.2 directly ?

Thanks for your answers!

David

P.S.: Here is the exception I got with xmlBeans and saxon 9:
