it simply means we have no free resources to put more effort on XQJ
update issues. sorry.


I'm slow and I'm sorry I don't distinguish between XQJ, XQJ updates, and BaseX. 

Is it possible to use BaseX as a library and have multiple JVMs access and update the same database in a way that is safe?

If so, how?

As I've stated before, I would prefer a non-BaseX-specific way of interacting with it, such as XQJ, but if that's not possible because XQJ is in essence a standard never adopted and soon to be abandoned, then I'm also fine with any robust method that allows me to link my in-memory, org.w3c.dom* implementation-based model to the database. (I had sent out an email about this previously, with no resonance.)
