[oXygen-user] XInclude and WebDAV

[Adrian Buza]

Hi again,

I just realized that there is no eXist JDBC driver. The Oxygen data 
source driver actually uses the eXist.jar itself so it's probably an 
issue in how oXygen is using the eXist API to retrieve the resource.
We will have an answer in a few days when the team is back. We're still 
regrouping after XML Prague.

Regards,
Adrian
