[oXygen-user] Preprocessing Xquery

[Sorin Ristache]

I am sorry, I mean split the query in two steps: the first step is an 
XQuery that generates other XQuery in which the $path parameter is 
expanded (replaced with the value of the parameter) and the second step 
runs the generated XQuery.


Regards,
Sorin
