I tried what you suggested. but this doesnt work. the gist of this problem is -
 
i am trying to pass a variable to Xupdate:append select .... as the filename/nodename  where it should go and append data.
 
   <xupdate:append select="doc('$test9')/xml">
 
But it seems that XUpdate does not expand the variable at runtime so I end up with blank files.
 
Is there anyway I can make updations using Xupdate to a file whose name i get as request:request-parameter from the user at runtime in a collection?
 
I will be very grateful to get any ides on this.
 
Thanks and Regards
Titash

You're mixing a *variable binding* (let $test9 := ...) with *element 
constructors* (...). This 
is a *syntax* error, not even a logical one...

Your variable must be bound at the same level than the $xupdate variable 
binding and, since your will *reference* it when you construct your 
document (with curly braces), you have to bind it before $xupdate.

You should then have a correct XUpdate document. Please, check it.

Then (and only then)... you probably want this XUpdate to be "executed" 
against the database. Just use the xmldb:update built-in function or 
create your own module if you want to ease parameters passing.

Cheers,
