You can import the library module in the evaluated expression. Example: https://github.com/transpect/control-backend/blob/main/webapp/control-backen...

Hello --

I have various databases that will be run through the same code after their contents is regularized. So the only different function is the one used for regularization.

This can be handled by writing a wrapper function and passing in a label to say which function to use, but I was wondering if there's a way to do it in the configuration map directly. The configuration map exists as a text file and gets run through xquery:eval() at the start of the process.

declare namespace abc='http://some/uri'; 'regularizationFunction': map { 'typeOne': abc:regularizationOne#1, 'typeTwo': abc:regularizationTwo#1 }

doesn't work, because the abc functions aren't known at evaluation time. These functions are defined in the library module that's evaluating the configuration file but xquery:eval() doesn't know that. I don't see a way to use bindings to get around this.

Is there a way to map a locally-defined function reference so xquery:eval() will recognize it?

thanks! Graydon
