Hi. My xml files are actually XML definitions of different product installations for IzPack open source Installer. IzPack consists of 2 main part: JAVA written engine. Specific installation definitions in format of XML.
Since our products are numerous and quite complicated - those XML definitions are quite complex and have a lot of interconnections... So - I loaded all them into base-X and use it to perform different queries through whole XML data. But - to remain in world of XQuery/Xpath - I have to rewrite substantial part of JAVA engine, that read/parse/manage those XMLs. It is a lot of work... 2014-01-29 Christian Grün <[email protected]> > Dear Moshe, > > I agree that such a feature would be desirable.
