title: Zorba collections: a simple directory of xml files
body: <p>I have a directory of xml files I'd like to use as a collection, specifically, to look at <code>$my_collection/of/things</code> where each file has <code>&lt;things&gt;</code>.    </p>
  
  <p>I am using Zorba.</p>
  
  <p>This results in <code>error retrieving resource</code> (syntax problem?):</p>
  
  <p><code>variable $my_collection := fn:collection("file://localhost/path/to/my/*.xml");</code></p>
  
  <p>I also read over the documentation on Zorba's <a href="http://www.zorba.io/documentation/2.9/zorba/xqddf.html" rel="nofollow">Data Definition Facility</a>... seems like overkill for this singular purpose.  Or, not?</p>
