Thanks for the clarification. This sound like a wise thing to do.

Hi Daniel,

no variables can be bound if services are registered, that’s true (values that are bound to variables might potentially be huge, and blow up the initial startup time of BaseX). I have added a comment to our documentation.

Best, Christian

Hi,

when I try to register jobs:eval as a service, BaseX 9.2 says: "no variables

allowed".

...

Is it not possible to register a service with a variable?

Not working:

jobs:eval("declare variable $xml external; $xml", map { 'xml': 'XML' }, map { 'id':'TEST', 'start':'11:31:50', 'interval':'P1D', 'service': true() })

working:

jobs:eval("declare variable $xml external; $xml", map { 'xml': 'XML' }, map { 'id':'TEST', 'start':'11:31:50', 'interval':'P1D', 'service': false() })

Thanks, Daniel
