[Exist-open] XQuery Update Facility with eXist xqjapi

[Shannon B. <sha...@gm...>]

Hi everyone,

I've just installed eXist 1.4.0 and have successfully run updates in the
sandbox.  Here's an example of an update I was able to run successfully:

update replace
doc('/db/acrosmart/definitions.xml')//entry[term/child::text()='BSS']/definition/child::text()
with 'Base Station System Composed of one or more BSCs'

I then listed the file contents and they had indeed changed.  Unfortunately
I am not able to run the same update with the eXist xqjapi from my java app.
 Simple retrieval queries work fine.  I am just wondering whether this is
because the XQuery Update Facility features don't work from xqjapi.  Is
there an alternative?

Cheers,

Shannon
