How do I include the xml declaration in my XQuery output?

I tried putting '(::pragma exist:serialize omit-xml-declaration=3Dno ::) =
'
and
'declare option exist:serialize "method=3Dxml =
omit-xml-declaration=3Dno";'
at the top of the xquery, but to no avail.  I am using the 20050509
snapshot.

Setting this option by either method appears to have no effect. It can't be set from conf.xml either (where it doesn't even figure as an available option). Is this maybe something that has been "implemented" only in documentation, but not in code? I don't see any provision for it in class EXistOutputKeys Michael Beddow

Thanks for the pointer, Pierrick, but I was testing Grant's example with a CVS build only three days old. I can see that the code you cite ought to ensure that a pragma-specified option is honoured, so presumably the fact that it isn't means that the Xquery parser isn't forwarding the required parameter to the method concerned? The logs show that the the pragma is being correctly parsed at compile time: 2005-08-29 10:11:28,761 [main] DEBUG (LocalXPathQueryService.java [checkPragmas]:264) - Setting serialization property from pragma: omit-xml-declaration = no but all the same no XML declaration appears on the output. (::pragma exist:serialize omit-xml-declaration=no ::) let $doc := <text> <content>Hello!</content> </text> return $doc Results in simply <text> <content>Hello!</content> </text> Michael Beddow

Actually, the real problem seem to be around lines 462-464 in : http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/exist/eXist-1.0/src/org/exist/stora= ge/serializers/Serializer.java?annotate=3D1.40 The serializer provides an XML declaration for documents and doesn't for=20 nodes... regardless of any pragma setting. I don't see anything in the specs that could justify such a behaviour.=20 For the following XQuery involving a non-node item : "a" Saxon outputs : <?xml version=3D"1.0" encoding=3D"UTF-8"?>a ... although : 1) this is not valid XML 2) the default value for omit-xml-declaration should be regarded as=20 being "yes" (http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/WD-xquery-20030502/#serialization) BTW : the interactive client settings for indent and expand-XIncludes=20 seem to override any pragma setting.
