Creating an XQuery Scenario

An XQuery scenario is a group of settings you associate with an XQuery. Examples of scenario settings include a main input document, XQuery processors, and whether or not you want to perform validation on the XML that results from your XQuery. Each time you preview an XQuery, Stylus Studio uses settings from the currently active scenario. For example, if the currently active scenario specifies the built-in processor, Stylus Studio executes the XQuery using that processor when you click the Preview Result button ( ).

You can create multiple scenarios for a single XQuery, and choose different settings for each. This flexibility can aid the XQuery development process as it enables you to easily test the XQuery against different input documents and using different processors before making the XQuery available.
