I am sorry, I mean split the query in two steps: the first step is an XQuery that generates other XQuery in which the $path parameter is expanded (replaced with the value of the parameter) and the second step runs the generated XQuery. Regards, Sorin Sorin Ristache wrote:
From your example it seemed that the util:eval() built-in extension of eXist was enough for the XPath evaluation that you needed. Other option is to split the query in two steps: the first step is an XQuery that evaluates the part of the XPath expression that is passed as parameter in your example and the second step is an XQuery applied to the result of the first step to do the main task of your query.

Ok, that being the case it sound like my only option is to make my own extension of eXist. I'll go down that path (unless I'm misunderstanding).
