Unable to selectPath() on an element with a specific attribute value

As titled. Here's some sample code:

public static void main(String args[]) {

XmlObject xml = XmlObject.Factory.newInstance();
try

{ /* <Sample> <path1>FirstValue</path1> <list> <param name="number">123456789</param> <param name="status">Active</param> </list> </Sample> * */ xml = XmlObject.Factory.parse("<Sample><path1>FirstValue</path1><list><param name=\"number\">123456789</param><param name=\"status\">Active</param></list></Sample>"); }

catch (Exception e) {};
System.out.println("XML = " + xml.xmlText());

String cacheXPath1 = "Sample/path1";
String cacheXPath2 = "Sample/list/param[@name='status']";
XmlCursor c = xml.newCursor();
c.selectPath(cacheXPath1);

String value = "";
if (c.toNextSelection())

{ value = c.getTextValue(); }
System.out.println("Value of " + cacheXPath1 + " is " + value);

value = "";
c.dispose();
c = xml.newCursor();
c.selectPath(cacheXPath2);
if (c.toNextSelection()) { value = c.getTextValue(); }

System.out.println("Value of " + cacheXPath2 + " is " + value);

c.dispose();
}

The output I get is

Value of Sample/path1 is FirstValue
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: Trying XBeans path engine... Trying XQRL... Trying delegated path engine... FAILED on Sample/list/param[@name='status']

So it was not able to find the element <param> that has a value of "Active" for the "status" attribute. I've tried XMLBeans 2.4 from Apache site, and also versions 2.2 and 2.5.1 that come with Weblogic Server 10.3.3. Any help would be appreciated.
