Hi Alan,

Most of our queries are in xqy modules on the server.  For single-shot
formatting functions there's not much point but it's definitely a good
idea for data extraction functions that would be reused.  

As far as interaction with java, we do everything with xdbc.  The
resulting html fragment gets added to the model by the controller and
the jsp view renders the page and inserts the fragment in the proper
place.  It's simple and works for us but I'd be interested if anyone
thinks there's a better approach.

Matt,

Do you store these queries as xqy files on the Mark Logic server and  
bring the content into your servlet via HTTP or do you keep the query  
logic in the servlet and grab the results from Mark Logic via XDBC?    
Once you have the data from the ML server as an HTML fragment, do you  
then pass this to a JSP page for rendering or do you do all the  
rendering in the servlet?  If you pass the HTML fragment to a JSP  
page, what mechanism do you use to do this?

Sorry for the dim questions -- I'm trying to figure out how to apply  
the "classic" MVC model to Mark Logic.

Alan
