came to understand your point. Olap4j does not promote a given MDX syntax nor
should it ever do. I will start a spin-off project able to provide external
code with a MdxParser that does not require a backend server

dummy driver. It might be easy: just a driver class, a connection class, and the
only thing you can do with the connection is to call getParserFactory. Can't
tell without looking at the code.</FONT></SPAN></SPAN></DIV>
