Charles,
I think the simplest way to show you how index.xql displays the page is
to show you the listing of index.xql since it is very short:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
declare namespace dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";;
declare namespace mets = "http://www.loc.gov/METS/";;
declare namespace xlink = "http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink";;
declare namespace dcterms = "http://purl.org/dc/terms/";;
declare namespace xslt="http://exist-db.org/xquery/transform";;
declare namespace util="http://exist-db.org/xquery/util";;
let $xsl := doc('/db/stylesheets/index.xsl')
let $dcNS := "declare namespace dc='http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/'; "
let $metsNS := "declare namespace mets = 'http://www.loc.gov/METS/'; "
let $dctermsNS := "declare namespace dcterms =
'http://purl.org/dc/terms/'; "
let $namespaces := concat($dcNS, $metsNS, $dctermsNS)
let $q1 := "for $collections in
collection('/db/mets/collections')/mets:mets order by
$collections//dc:date descending return
<div>{$collections//dc:identifier, $collections//dc:title,
$collections//mets:[EMAIL PROTECTED] = 'featured']}</div>"
let $query := concat($namespaces, $q1)
let $queryResult := <featured>{util:eval($query)}</featured>
let $featured :=
<featured>
{
$queryResult/child::*[position() le 4]
}
</featured>
return xslt:stream-transform($featured, $xsl, () )
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When I say, "the page itself works fine," I mean, if I type the address
as "http://<server name>/exist/index.xql", that works fine.

Subject: Re: Switching default index page from xml to xql
The default eXist welcome page is index.xml. The media
librarian working on the project has created an index.xql
which she would like to be the welcome page. The page
itself works fine but we don't know how to make it execute,
by default, instead of an index.xml or index.jsp, etc.
What mechanism is used to render XQL into something visible? Is there a
servlet that has to be run inside Tomcat (analogous to the JSP servlet
which turns .jsp files into servlets and runs them to generate html), or
is there some application on the client end that receives XQL and does
something with it? If it's the former, you'll need servlet mapping in
your web.xml to direct the request to the proper handler; if the latter,
you'll need to add mime mapping to your web.xml to let the client know
what to do with the data stream.
When you say "the page itself works fine" what do you mean? What are
you doing to exercise it?
