David,

For now, I have raised this as an issue "0000023" [1].

But overall, there are two sides to this story,

1. There is almost certainly a bug in the XQJ implementation, (to be fixed in a patch release). 2. Additional enhancements need to be made to the XQJ implementation. This will be in minor version release, to be released later.

As far as I am concerned, an XQJ implementation (e.g. BaseX XQJ) is ultimately responsible for the serialization of result sequences and items, not the processor (e.g. BaseX XQuery Processor) when of course you are using a software driver like XQJ.

You are attempting to override the default XQuery / XSLT serialization parameters in the XQuery prolog itself, which, according to XQuery 3.0 specification is a fair request.

Because Saxon throws an exception while it's on the classpath, I consider this to be a bug. I will resolve and issue a patch release so no exception occurs.

However, even after supplying the patch release, as it stands, the XQJ implementation ignores the XQuery 3.0 serialization parameters you are declaring in your XQuery prolog. I must add enhancements to the XQJ implementation so that it recognises serialization options being declared in the XQuery expression itself.

For now / when the patch release comes out, you can override default XQuery / XSLT serialization parameters by passing a Properties argument to various different Java methods, e.g.:

* XQItemAccessor.writeItem(OutputStream os, Properties serializationProperties); * XQItemAccessor.writeItem(Writer wr, Properties serializationProperties); * XQItemAccessor.getItemAsString(Properties serializationProperties);

@Christian I would like your opinion on something :-

If the user declares a serialization property in an XQuery prolog AND the user has also specified a serialization Properties object when calling an XQJ method which happens to contain serialization options which CONFLICT with the options declared in the XQuery prolog, what behaviour do you think should occur?

Some possibilities spring to mind:

1. Java Properties Object is Priority. (Logger gets a warning message about conflict). 2. XQuery Prolog declaration is Priority. (Logger gets a warning message about conflict). 3. Throw an Exception due to the conflict.

Currently, as it stands, I think the current behaviour in the XQJ implementation is for things like default namespace declarations, ordering mode, boundary space policy and so on, the XQuery expression has the priority over the current XQStaticContext.

Perhaps it is better to state whatever appears in the XQuery expression has absolute priority?

Dear David,

thanks for your e-mail and your report. I finally had some time to look at your example, and I managed to reproduce the problem. As the error is raised before BaseX gets into action, I'm passing this on to Charles Foster who wrote the wonderful XQJ implementation for BaseX..

@Charles: this is the Saxon class that raises the error..

..and this is the specification link to the SEPM0009 code:

Do you have an idea if this issue can be solved within your API?

Thanks, Christian

I am trying to perform a basic document insert using the XQJ API communicating with a standalone BaseXServer. I have a lot of dependencies on my classpath (I'm sure this affects JAXP's behavior), including Saxon, Xerces, Xalan, and probably a few versions of some of them. When I set the transformer factor explicitly to Xalan, there is no exception, but otherwise it appears Saxon is being used and it down throw an exception. I have a very high opinion of Saxon so I have my doubts that it's doing anything illegal with respect to the standards, so I thought I should ask what is going on. This is the property I can set to get rid of the problem:

System.setProperty("javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory", "org.apache.xalan.processor.TransformerFactoryImpl");

Here is the exception and stack trace:
