Hi Raymond,

Here are some examples using the BaseX XQJ API if that helps.

// ---------------------------------------------------- // Inserting a DOM Document item // ---------------------------------------------------- import javax.xml.xquery.*; import javax.xml.namespace.QName; import net.xqj.basex.BaseXXQDataSource;

import javax.xml.parsers.*; import org.w3c.dom.*; import org.xml.sax.*; import java.io.*;

import com.xqj2.*;

public class Test { public static final Document getDocument() throws Exception { return DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance().newDocumentBuilder(). parse(new InputSource(new StringReader("<e>Hello World</e>"))); };

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { XQDataSource xqs = new BaseXXQDataSource(); xqs.setProperty("serverName", "localhost"); xqs.setProperty("port", "1984"); xqs.setProperty("databaseName", "TEST"); // DATABASE NAME: TEST XQConnection2 conn = (XQConnection2)xqs.getConnection("admin", "admin");

Document doc = getDocument();

conn.insertItem( "my-document-uri.xml", conn.createItemFromNode(doc, null), null );

XQPreparedExpression px = // have to state DATEBASE NAME, in URI: conn.prepareExpression("fn:doc('TEST/my-document-uri.xml')");

XQResultSequence rs = px.executeQuery();

System.out.println(rs.getSequenceAsString(null));

conn.close(); } } // ----------------------------------------------------

// ---------------------------------------------------- // Inserting an XML Document from a File object // ---------------------------------------------------- import javax.xml.xquery.*; import javax.xml.namespace.QName; import net.xqj.basex.BaseXXQDataSource; import java.io.*;

import com.xqj2.*;

public class Test { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { XQDataSource xqs = new BaseXXQDataSource(); xqs.setProperty("serverName", "localhost"); xqs.setProperty("port", "1984"); xqs.setProperty("databaseName", "TEST"); // DATABASE NAME: TEST XQConnection2 conn = (XQConnection2)xqs.getConnection("admin", "admin");

conn.insertItem( "test.xml", conn.createItemFromDocument( new FileInputStream(new File("test.xml")), null, null ), null );

XQPreparedExpression px = // have to state DATEBASE NAME, in URI: conn.prepareExpression("fn:doc('TEST/test.xml')");

XQResultSequence rs = px.executeQuery();

System.out.println(rs.getSequenceAsString(null));

conn.close(); } } // ----------------------------------------------------

Is it possible to add Document objects (org.w3c.dom) directly to the database without using TransformerFactory to convert it first to string?

And what if you have a File object?
