Hello Dimitar,
  Thanks for your reply.

  In my application, I want to keep the option of connection using the 3 web services that you provide out-of-the-box, and add a few services in addition to that.
  Maybe I need to extend your web application and add to it, rather than create a separate web app? Do you know about people doing it?

  Sorry, I'm not sure I follow which feature will be removed from the next version of BaseX. Can you please clarify. I don't feel good about using a feature that wont be there in the future versions as my app will be stuck in the past and miss out on new functionality. So kindly clarify.

Thanks,
Anupam
