In your case, i think,  java:TITLE() would work.

Just trying with java.lang.Integer i got the following code to work

declare namespace integer="java:java.lang.Integer";

integer:MIN_VALUE()

Hi everyone, I'm using a Java library in XQuery in BaseX and I haven't been able to determine if there's a way to access a constant string (final static String... or even just final String...) in the Java class from XQuery.

For example, if the Java class is declared as

package my.module;

public class MyModule {
  public static final String TITLE ="I'm a module!";

  public String hello(final String world) {
    return "Hello " + world;
  }
}

The XQuery to call the "hello" method is

import module namespace java = 'java:my.module.MyModule';

java:hello("World!")


But is there any way to access "TITLE"?

I'd like to share some constants between XQuery and Java, and I could write accessor functions for these constants, but it'd be cleaner if I didn't have to.

Thanks!
