Hi, thanks a lot for studying my problem, and the suggestion of how to solve the problem.
I will try to solve it your way. Can't think of any other product, with such efforts to give individual support.

It is not easy to solve. And we don't see how it can be solved by enhancing our product. That is, you need to implement a custom, efficient, solution for your specific problem. Here's what I would do to solve it: [1] Create a DocumentHook for my type of documents. See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/docs/api/com/xmlmind/xmleditapp/dochook/DocumentHook.html The only thing that this DocumentHook does is to register a DocumentListener with the newly created or newly opened document. See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/docs/dev/ar01s09.html See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/docs/api/com/xmlmind/xmledit/doc/DocumentListener.html [2] This DocumentListener observes all element insertions and deletions (ElementStructureEvent). See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/docs/api/com/xmlmind/xmledit/doc/ElementStructureEvent.html The goal this DocumentListener is to update a list of g_kuerzel character data. This list is initialized when the DocumentListener is created and after that, it is updated incrementally. This list is stored as a property of the Document using method putProperty(). See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/docs/dev/ar01s04.html#treeproperties See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/docs/api/com/xmlmind/xmledit/doc/Document.html#putProperty(java.lang.Object,%20java.lang.Object) [3] Write a Java class (example: com.acme.Util) with static method called makeList(). See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/docs/commands/ch07s02.html makeList() has a single argument: a com.xmlmind.xmledit.xpath.NodeIterator (See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/docs/api/com/xmlmind/xmledit/xpath/NodeIterator.html ) which gives access to the element of the Document. This allows to fetch the custom property containing the list. [4] Replace: xpath("join(/steuerindex/teil/kapitel/gesetz/g_kuerzel, '\A')") by: xpath("util:makeList(.)") where xmlns:util="java:com.acme.Util" Yes, this is complex but this is also: * feasible without asking XMLmind to change anything in XXE, * easy to maintain (completely separated from XXE core, only uses public, stable, APIs), * cannot be faster (because it works incrementally).
