Hi James,

You can have a look at our internal instantiations of atomic types [1,2]. Items of type xs:time can e.g. be created via:

// the input string String string = "12:34:56"; // comparable to string.getBytes(), but always UTF8 and faster: byte[] token = Token.token(string); // no input info available (will automatically be assigned if // executed Java code should raise an error) new Tim(token, null);

Hope this helps, Christian

I have some Java methods which return time elements and or Maps and I was trying to convert these into XQuery atomic values with no luck. Is there a utility for these?

Array has ``fromValues`` and all other types like ``Str`` have ``get`` but Map, Tim, Dtn, ADate do not appear to be construct-able.

Any help would be appreciated.
