Hi Christian,

Terrific on both counts. That I understood correctly :) and that it got fixed so fast!

I will probably post more often as I am now working with BaseX regularly both at work and at home. My home project is a collection of modules for doing REST pipelines/middleware, heavily inspired on Python's WSGI, Ruby Rack or Erlang's webmachine. This will be heavily based on Clojure's Ring and Compojure libraries and for now in pure XQuery. Hope to have something to play with in a week or two.

Hi Marc,

It turns out you didn't do wrong anything: The mapping between Java
and XQuery URIs was only uni-directional. I have just uploaded a new
snapshot which provides a fix for this [1].

Hope this helps,
Christian
