Re: xupdate update fails but query using xpath succeeds?

Hello,

When you use the method "updateResource("PO-NI-01", updateXml);" the 
operation only concerns the document called PO-NI-01. I think this 
document does not exist in your database.

When you test this line : ResourceSet resourceSet = 
queryService.query(queryXml);. the operation concerns on the whole 
collection.

To correct your program, you should use  this method: 
"updateService.*update*(updateXml);", because the operation concerns the 
whole collection. Or you should check if the document "PO-NI-01" exists.

Tell me whether it helps you or not,

Yan.
