[Exist-open] XQuery bug - maybe???

[Sava J. <sju...@mr...>]

Hi All,

I have just deployed latest snapshot; We upgraded from 20050803 snapshot where
all of our queries were working just fine and the build was fairly stable;

I know there was a change in XQuery engine and we were just about to start
"adjusting" our queries, but here is the first issue and I have no clue what is
wrong!!!

Under db/data/users we have users.xml with following structure:

<users>
    <user id="4">
        <uid>brock</uid>
        <dfirstname>D'Arcey</dfirstname>
        <dlastname>Rock</dlastname>
        <password>8C6F5D02DEB21501AAD3B435B51404EE</password>
        <title>dr</title>
        <access_right>all</access_right>
        <status>active</status>
    </user>
    <user id="3">
        <uid>aford</uid>
        <dfirstname>Alan</dfirstname>
        <dlastname>Ford</dlastname>
        <password>8C6F5D02DEB21501AAD3B435B51404EE</password>
        <title>dr</title>
        <access_right>all</access_right>
        <status>active</status>
    </user>
</users>

Executing the following query returns the error:

let $id := //user/@id
return
$id

We use REST and eXist runs under Tomcat 5.5, Java 1.5.0_05

Any help is welcome!!! Should we use the previous snapshot?

THANKS,
