Re: library package – load stylesheet s into XQuery?

Dear Jean-Paul,

Thanks! Yes and no – yes, a library module, but within a package that is 
exclusively declared as a library. See the table with types of packages 
in this section: https://exist-db.org/exist/apps/doc/repo#sect-repoxml

“Library package” with type = library and /no target specified/ was what 
I was going for, so far.

This means that the package is not deployed into the /db/apps 
collection. Instead it lives in /db/system/repo. Its collection name 
includes the version number. Currently the full path would be 
/db/system/repo/cmiferator-0.0.3/content/CMIF-base.xsl, but this will 
obviously change with the version number.

Perhaps there is a programmatic way to obtain the current package base 
path (/db/system/repo/cmiferator-0.0.3) and use that for loading the 
stylesheet.

Otherwise, I take your point and will consider setting a target where to 
deploy the package within the database (/db/apps/cmiferator) and use a 
fixed, complete resource path for loading the stylesheets. (It’s just 
that initially the library package concept seemed a good fit for what I 
try to achieve – make a few XQuery functions available database-wide.)

Best,
Julian
