Hi Maud,
We are glad to hear that the DBA code serves as a good inspiration! After all, I think this should be its primary purpose. The way how we integrate user components like buttons or tables is a bit unorthodox; this may be simplified in a future version.
we want to distribute our static files inside our module, in a synopsx/files/ directory, [...]
In the DBA code, we solved this by creating a custom rest:response element for all files starting with the path "dba/files". I have slightly simplified the current code; please see here [1] how it's done! The web:mime-type($path) function calls an internal BaseX function to retrieve the content type of the response [2]; there may be a new XQuery function for that in future as well. We could even think about providing an XQuery function for everything that's happening in [1].
More feedback is welcome, Christian

and of course we don't
want to ask people to modify the static path declaration in their WEB-INF/web.xml file to use our module. It works perfectly in your dba module : for exemple in dba/modules/tmpl.xqm, the created html element calls files/js.js or files/style.css and it simply works... But not in ours : we get this "No function matches the request" error because these files pathes are interpreted as restxq pathes (which sounds reasonable, but why not in yours ?) We are know trying more and more complicated things that don't work neither, like in https://github.com/mingarao/synopsx/blob/dev/webapp/synopsx/_restxq/files.xq... line 37... So I think we should better stop there and ask you : what's the trick in dba ? All the best ! Maud and the AHN/SynopsX people
