Stefano,
On an unrelated note how may I bind a Java class instance to an external variable in xqj?
The following method should serve your purpose:
XQDynamicContext.bindObject(QName varName, Object value, XQItemType type)
Note that the data type needs to be known to XQuery; otherwise, conversion will fail.
Hope this helps, Christian ___________________________
