Thanks for the hints.

As I also said to Jukka: the webservices and the query component are
not my problem - the import software is. I'm using PostGIS-Terminal
and an enhanced FeatureServer as query components.

Given my use case I still tend to prefer to adapt osm2psql. Here I
still don't understand why JXAPI does not get all data required to
build a response XML: osm2pgsql outputs tables
osm_nodes,osm_rels,osm_ways (as well as
osm_line,osm_point,osm_polygon,osm_roads). To complete the OSM XML to
me what it's missing is perhaps the XML attribute 'version' in the
tables.

Can somebody explain why this doesn't work and what coding to enhance
osm2pgsql this would mean?

Yours, Stefan
