Re: [basex-talk] Java binding - variable arguments

And a complementary remark: You can also use the built-in function out:format (it will be optimized better than Java functions):

let $string := 'Format string: %1$d - %2$s' let $i := 1 let $j := 'text' return out:format($string, $i, $j)

For formatting numbers, XQuery provides the function fn:format-number:

format-number(1, '0000')

Hi Luan,

try this:

declare namespace java = "java:java.lang.String";

let $string := 'Format string: %1$d - %2$s' let $i := 1 let $j := 'text' let $args := ($i, $j)

return java:format($string, $args)

Best regards Johannes

Hello all, How can I call a method with variable arguments in BaseX with Java binding? I am trying to do this:

    let $string := 'Format string: %1$d - %2$s'
let $i := 1
let $j := 'text'
return Q{java.lang.String}format·java.lang.String·java.lang.Object*($string, $string, $i, $j)

However, I got the error: [XPDY0002] {java.lang.String}format·java.lang.Stri...: Context is undeclared. Thank you for your time.
