Re: ResourceSet

[Kimbro Staken]

Here's another alternative. I think I like this one better. By default 
collectionURI is only set on the root but if you need it you can also set 
it on a child node.

<xapi:resourceSet xmlns:xapi="http://www.xmldb.org/xapi/ResourceSet"; 
collectionURI="driver:/path/to/collection">
	<somenode xapi:documentId="1" />
	<somenode xapi:documentId="2" />
	<somenode xapi:documentId="12" 
xapi:collectionURI="driver:/path/to/another/collection"/>
	...
</xapi:resourceSet>

What are your thoughts on adding a getResultsAsResource() method to
ResourceSet? This is something we've been asked for in the dbXML project
as a way to return all results as a textual XML document. Returning it as
a Resource enables you to get the results in whatever form you want. This
is especially handy if you just want to hand the results of the query to
XSL-T. The Resource content value could look something like.
<xapi:results xmlns:xapi="http://www.xmldb.org/xapi/ResultNS"; count="10"

Or possibly with more metadata.

<xapi:results xmlns:xapi="http://www.xmldb.org/xapi/ResultNS"; count="10"

        <xapi:result documentKey="1"
collectionURI="driver:/path/to/collection">
                <somenode/>
        </xapi:result>
        <xapi:result documentKey="2"
collectionURI="driver:/path/to/collection">
                <somenode/>
        </xapi:result>    
        ...
</xapi:results>
That's a good idea. I prefer the second variant.

Two comments:
1. To stay in line with the rest of the API "documentKey" should
probably be "documentID" (because of "getID()" etc.).
2. I'd drop the "count" attribute or make it optional/informational. It
may prevent the on-the-fly creation of this results XML (ideal for
getContentAsSAX). "count" can always be calculated using XPath.
