Re: [xml-dev] query in xml

Exactly ! I want to know If there is some "best practise" for
developing an XML query language.
Our problem is :
We want to add a soap gateway to access an old legacy system. This
system is very complex , many request, with many arguments. We don't
want to add one soap method for any sort of request. We prefer adding
just one method with one arguments : a string. This string should be
our query (written in XML).
