Re: [xml-dev] FW: [ANN]: XQuery: A Guided Tour

Hi,

Thanx a lot for really good stuff. I have a look at both chapters, otherwise, 
I'd love to try kinda level of implementation. I'm trying to catch up 
technologies and available tools. I doubt if I can work XQuery with commercial 
supporting tools such JBuilder, Visual age for Java? (don't mean to specify 
any tools)
