In addition I'd suggest that somewhere in the API a
QName[] getSupportedTypes( ) ;
is added as well as an error code be added in ErrorCodes such as
UNSUPPORTED_RESOURCE_TYPE
which can be one of the specified error codes when an XMLDBException is thrown
from a
Collection#storeResour
An XML:DB "Resource" corresponds to a DOM "Node". The sub-type "XMLResource"
does directly correspond to a DOM Node, and hence supports the DOM Node
types.
Currently it is possible to support simple datatypes via this mechanism as
each of these datatypes has a textual representation, and hence can
Like saying goes about opinions,.everybody has one. I merely stated my opinion
about the XML:DB API after the trying to implement Core Level 1 Conformance
over eXcelon's DXE[0] . My last manager told me I was opinionated, over time
you'll realize this too and not feel that I am trying to _dictate_

Hi Dare
Have a look at the XQuery and XPath Data Model document. Both XPath2 and
XQuery share the same data model as defined in the document at
http://www.w3.org/TR/query-datamodel/.
You are right that primitive types are the schema primitive types - all the
usual suspects - float, decimal, doub
The valid return types from an XQuery query are XML schema types while the
valid return types from an XPath 1.0 query are a boolean, string, number, or
nodeset (is there one I've forgotten?). So the question is if the XML:DB API
promotes the results of a query to their own type will they be XPath 1
Hi folks
This thread has got me thinking. What is returned from a query is a value.
What is a legal value should be defined in the API spec. XQuery has define
what a legal value is in their data model doc (see w3c data model doc). It
may be wise to adopt this as a valid value in the xmldb API a
