Hello, newby here so sorry if this is an obvious mistake. I need to declare a variable that my query uses. I have the following code: final Configuration config; DynamicQueryContext dynamicContext ; StaticQueryContext staticContext; //some instantiation here dynamicContext.setContextNode(staticContext.buildDocument( new DOMSource(dom)) ); String query="for $a in $root//price return $a"; Variable thisVar = Variable.make("root"); thisVar.setValue(dynamicContext.getContextNode() ); staticContext.declareVariable(thisVar); XQueryExpression exp = staticContext.compileQuery(query); At which point I get a runtime exception that variable $root is not declared (I know the query is unnecessarily complex but for purposes of my app I prefer not to alter the query). The binding I'm trying to achieve is equivalent to let $root:=doc(...). Also, through some debugging, I know the binding makes into the variables map of the static context object...not sure why it's not found when compile is called. Thanks for any help
