Hi, Yes, Saxon was suggested by Ant also before and it has saxon-b as freeware. Anybody please any comment on any licensing restrictions? Also I was just giving a try to DB2 Express XQuery support. There are a couple of others listed in June 15 mail, in this same thread. Saxon will be a good choice from XQJ compliance point too. (I will be able to upload a patch in 1-2 days time on the top of what is there in https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/tuscany/sandbox/lresende/das/ with some documentation to continue design discussion)

Gang, how is XPath support implemented today? I've looked at the code briefly in the past, but couldn't make sense of it. I was hoping that XPath support came from the Xalan jar files. If that were true, it would be a SMOP to replace the Xalan XPath libraries with the Saxon libraries. Saxon supports XSLT 2.0, XPath 2.0 and XQuery. That's a straightforward approach to leveraging someone else's excellent work, although I don't know if Saxon's license would be compatible. Anyway, if somebody knows how XPath is implemented now, that would be a start towards figuring out how to plug in an XQuery engine. Cheers, -Doug
