Of course, they don't use the chained exception mechanism
There is a request from the eXist group that we remove the final modifier=

Sounds all reasonable. I'll try to update the API and sample apps and
let you kno
for a single name and a sequence of names?
Does registerDatabase() need to retrieve names through both getters?
I see getName() as a special case of getNames() so may be we should
omit the getName() method?
Kindest regards, Lars

Because it's a new release of XML:DB API we should extend the current
API to provide a new method "getNames()" in addition to "getName()".
Any objection? Per? Kimbro?

Even if I like #4, I would say that "setNameSpace()" would be the
modicum of effort and would match our goal to provide a thin API.

In general I agree. What do you mean by "a snippet of XML"? Something

urce really is - e.g. String for XMLResource - then
this is (getContent) a good choice for me. On the other hand I see
the advantage of XMLResource.getContentAsText() but then the Resource
interface is obsolete except for the common super class/interface of
all pos
e make a change.
Of course, I'm not against such extensions. If there are multiple shared
methods a common QueryService interface makes perfectly sense.
