Thank you Christian for you fast reply, as usual ! I wish I could use BaseX more often : For now I am writing hundred lines of annotated java with jersey/jpa/hibernate just to expose a few rest resources… Not to mention the ETL stuff to move data from one rdbms to the others… And the liquibase changlogs to maintain the schemas… And… Meilleures salutations !
