Child text node lost with newDomNode()

Question

Hello,
I have a simple custom XMLBean compiled from a schema like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<schema targetNamespace="http://mydomain.com/xsd/myBean"
     xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
     xmlns:tns="http://mydomain.com/xsd/myBean"
     elementFormDefault="qualified">
     <simpleType name="MyType">
          <restriction base="double"/>
     </simpleType>
     <element name="MyElement" type="tns:MyType"/>
</schema>
An the Java code:
import com.mydomain.xsd.myBean.*;
import org.w3c.dom.Document;
import org.w3c.dom.Element;
void myMethod() {
MyElementDocument bean = MyElementDocument.Factory.newInstance();
bean.setMyElement(3.14d);
// this prints the the xml with text including 3.14d
System.out.println(bean.xmlText());
Element dom = ((Document) bean.newDomNode()) .getDocumentElement();
The problem is, after getting the DOM object my calling newDomNode(), the Text
Node for "3.14d" is lost from the DOM tree; i.e. instead of
<tns:MyElement xmlns:tns="http://mydomain.com/xsd/myBean">3.14d</tns:MyElement>
I get XML like:
<tns:MyElement xmlns:tns="http://mydomain.com/xsd/myBean" />
Question: how come the DOM tree is not complete?
Any help is very much appreciated.

I fixed the error by upgrading xbean.jar to the one bundled with WebLogic Servcer
8.1 SP2 (I originally had the version from WLS 8.1 SP1).
