The Role Processor class in XQJ examples

Hi, I am new to Saxon and wish to get a good understanding before writing any code.
I have been playing with the XQJExamples.java file and also reading the Saxon API in
HTML. Within the API it is mentions the Processor clsss as "allowing global
Saxon configuration options to be set....This is the first object that a Saxon
application should create." However looking at the classes used to support the
XQJExamples file, I can see no way in which this class is called from in the Saxon XQJ
implementation. Have I missed something ? Could this be a class used prior to the XQJ
implementation ? At what point does the Processor class come into play or is initiated ?
Any light that can be shed will be much appreciated, Thanks, Jon

The Processor class plays the same role in the s9api interface as the XQDataSource
plays in the XQJ interface: both are API veneer around an underlying
net.sf.saxon.Configuration object which is where the real action is. Nothing in the
s9api section of the documentation has any bearing on XQJ - they are alternative
front-ends to the same underlying engine.
