I don't think Xindice supports xlink. And your idea of attaching the query to retrieve the child document, would be equivalent to using xlink. I suppose this would be the only alternative solution as Xindice neither supports xlink or xpointer.

Hi there, I'm currently working on a school project. The goal of the project is to provide a system in which all kinds of objects can be stored. What I mean by this, is that we don't know in advance which objects get stored or, how to display them. The idea is, that the "administrator" can create a new collection and specify which stylesheets should be used for formatting, etc.. Now, in some cases it would occur that data is dependant on some kind of parent object, e.g. a student and it's results. What I want to know if it's possible to reference xml documents outside the current collection and let Xindice automagically insert the referenced xml document.... E.g. if I request a student, I automatically also get the student's data. I;ve read about xlink, but I could not tell if Xindice supports this ? My other suggestion was storing default xpath queries for objects, in order to find related documents. Any comments ? Thx. Silvester
