Hi all, As Cocoon is an excellent framework for dealing with XML and hence in a lot of cases is stored in a XML Database it makes sense to offer out-of-the box functionality to extract data from it. From my personal experience I think most XMLDB implementers have abondoned the XMLDB API initiative and are focusing on XQuery for Java (XQJ) instead.
I just started playing with the API today and wrote a bit of code to get more acquainted. I would like to start a little thread to find out if we can add a new XQJGenerator to the optional cocoon module. A first little exercise is mentioned on my blog but it's far from production ready. - TODO: allow wrapping query result in 1 root tag - Problem: the XQJ interface jar is packaged along with the implementations (Sedna, Exist, Marklogic). This means I had to actually declare a maven dependency on the implementation specific jar (in this case sedna-xqj-beta-5.jar). For the ones who think this would be a great add-on, check my first post at http://robbypelssers.blogspot.com/2011/07/using-xqj-api-with-cocoon3.html Kind regards, Robby Pelssers
