Thanks Dirk for the pointer. Any idea where to put the .xqm and .xsl files? I'm using them in the query. Can I simply put them in the HTTPPATH dir as well?

Hello, I understand that one way to run a rest based XQuery with parameters is to use the following ... http://localhost:8984/rest/DB/mult.xq?a=21&b=2 This is possible if the query is in the BaseX database. I need to use REST, but the query file (.xq) and .xqm, .xsl files need to be located on the server but not in the database. Can someone give me a pointer about how to do that? Thanks, Anupam
