Sure the limitation has to do with working with Java and XQuery together. When paired, to pass data down to the XQuery, it ends up being passed as strings which with an engine like eXist the data needs to be evaluated with a special utility extension.
I am sorry to use oXygen band-width for what seems to be a general XQuery question, but I am really intrigued: do you mean the usual way of passing variable to a query (using external variables) does not work with eXist, from Java? Because if it is just a matter of passing strings to the query, I would personally rather use external variables in the query, set them from the calling Java code, and not use any pre-processing phase; in other words always use only standard queries. But I guess I missed something. Regards, -- Florent Georges http://www.fgeorges.org/
