That would be true for xdmp:document-load(), but xdmp:document-insert()
does not rely on the filesystem. An XCC program could pass XML as an
external variable of type xs:string to an XQuery module, which would
unquote it, then doc-insert the result. For an example of this
technique, see
http://developer.marklogic.com/svn/recordloader/trunk/README.html (under
"CONTENT_FACTORY_CLASSNAME").
But as Danny points out, XCC's built-in Content class is likely to be
more efficient for most applications. One exception relates to Robert's
other recent question: "Saving a document with properties". It's fairly
simple to use xdmp:document-insert() and xdmp:document-add-properties()
in a single transaction, while XCC's ContentCreateOptions API does not
support document properties.

The other issue is “where is the source content”.
If the ML server is on a machine which does not have local file access to the
source content, then the ONLY way to get it there is with
session.insertContent()
which reads from the client machine.

Hi Robert,
I am not a much of a Java guy, so others might be better to comment on this
one, but I think the difference is that with session.insertContent, you are
using Java to stream in the content to MarkLogic Server. With
xdmp:document-insert, you are using XQuery to create the content in memory to
insert. If you have a large amount of content on the client machine (where the
XCC program is running) to load, then it makes sense to use insertContent. I
believe this is what the open source project RecordLoader does
(http://developer.marklogic.com/code/#recordloader).

Subject: [MarkLogic Dev General] session.insertContent vs xdmp:document-insert
What is the difference between session.insertContent and xdmp:document-insert?
When using xcc is there any advantage to using one over the other? Thanks.
Bob
