Steps:

1. Create or choose a database (e.g. named 'db')
   
2. Store in BaseX a raw zip file (e.g. 'alpha/bravo/charlie/delta.zip').  My zip file has files in folders.
3. Choose a target name that also has a ".zip" extension to similar to 'include name of archive in path' behavior.  Note, it should not be the same as the raw zip file stored (e.g. 'delta.zip')
   
4. Run the following in the BaseX GUI client - it will work
   
5. Repeat 1 and 2 using the BaseX Java Client example - it does not work
   

GUI CLIENT - DOES WORK
========================================
let $database := 'db'
let $extractTo := 'target.zip'
let $archivePath := 'alpha/bravo/charlie/delta.zip'

let $archive  := db:retrieve($database, $archivePath)
let $basePath := replace($archivePath, '[^/]+$', '') || $extractTo
let $entries  := archive:entries($archive)
let $contents := archive:extract-binary($archive)
return for-each-pair($entries, $contents, %updating function($entry, $content) {  
  let $target := $basePath || '/' || $entry/text()
  return try {
      db:store($database, $target, $content)
    } catch * {
      ()     
    }
})


JAVA - DOES NOT WORK:
===============================================
// Usage: Create a BaseXClient object and call this method.

// For example:

// ExplodeArchive("db", "target.zip", "alpha/bravo/charlie/delta.zip", ..)

private static void ExplodeArchive(final String database, String extractTo, String archivePath, BaseXClient session) throws IOException {
        try {
            String queryString =
                    "let $database := '" + database +"' " +
                    "let $extractTo := '" + extractTo + "' " +
                    "let $archivePath := '"+ archivePath + "' " +
                    "let $archive  := db:retrieve($database, $archivePath) " +
                    "let $basePath := replace($archivePath, '[^/]+$', '') || $extractTo " +
                    "let $entries  := archive:entries($archive) " +
                    "let $contents := archive:extract-binary($archive) " +
                    "for $entry at $pos in $entries " +
                    "let $content := $contents[$pos] " +
                    "let $target := $basePath || '/' || $entry/text() " +
                    "return db:store($database, "+ "$target, $content)";
            final BaseXClient.Query query = session.query(queryString);
            query.execute();
        } finally {
            session.close();
        }
    }

Could you please provide me with a minimized example that shows the
problem, and which I can run both in the GUI and via the Java client?
