There are bugs with the xml-rpc handler eg: http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22070 personally I'm only interested in ensuring that it's xmldb interface is up to scratch. I believe that the xml-rpc on the wire stuff is an implementation issue and should be subject to change at any time. > - maybe it's time to have a look at XQuery: it won't be easy to > implement but we could start by supporting a few functionalities Actaully ....It mightn't be too hard (which is why I want to get 1.1 out of the way) . Our current implementation of the xpath resolver defers final evaluation of the match to xalan. I don't think it would be too much of an effort to use saxon instead (which does support XQuery). > I'm maybe missing the point, so please be gentle :-) > > -Vladimir > > PS: I'm still looking at the tests and how we could make them easier to > run (one single test at a time).
